When trying to play a video in either vlc or mplayer using the Xv backend, i always get a rectangle filled with blue instead of the video. If i try to play the same video vith xine and it's Xv backend, the screen get corrupted with random colored vertical lines and a blue rectangle. OS is Ubuntu Edgy x86 with Xorg 7.1 and trident driver 1.2.1 The same problem occurs event if i change resolution or color depth. I've tried any combination of color depth/resolution/various options in xorg.conf The machine is a Toshiba Portege R100. The card id : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XP4m32 (rev 91) xorg.conf
Created attachment 6519 [details] Xorg.conf which triggers the blue screen
Created attachment 6520 [details] Xorg log file

I've got the same kind of problem on Toshiba Portege 4000. X.org version 7.0 on Redhat Fedora 4 lspci output: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82) mplayer plays video with Xv driver, but very often crashes (screen becomes filled with vertical color bands, system hangs up completely and writes to logs nothing). That happens when mplayer starts playing video or when goes to the fullscreen mode. Limiting video memory in xorg.conf: VideoRam 10240 helped mitigate this problem, but system's still unstable (hangs up approximately one time per 50 mplayer launches). Laptop manual tells that system reserves 16Mb of RAM for video memory by default. With xvidix driver movie can't be seeing at all, instead of that color rectangles are flashing. Hope that this will help to improve driver code. My xorg.conf device section: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "trident" ChipSet "cyberbladeXPAi1" VendorName "trident" Option "CyberStretch" Option "CyberShadow" Option "accel" Option "BackingStore" Option "SaveUnders" VideoRam 10240 BoardName "cyberblade XP" EndSection
