xorg ati external display and XVIDEO
I have tried playing a DVD with xine over the beamer with my Powerbook5,6 ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] X.Org version: 6.8.99.7 (self build). The beamer gets 1280x1024 and the lcd of the laptop scrolls, because he has 1280x854. Observed failure: The xine window playing the movie is dark on the beamer, while it shows the move on the laptop's LCD. I assume it is XVideo, does somebody have this working with driver "radeon"? Hints appreciated. pgpTs2o7gJG9a.pgp Description: PGP signature

It's a hardware limitation, the overlay can only be active on one display controller at a time. You can choose which one using the XV_SWITCHCRT XVideo attribute. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

So MacOS does it differently? I can see the video on both lcd and beamer then. > You can choose which one using the > XV_SWITCHCRT XVideo attribute. Yes, wow! Thanks for the hint! With this keyword I have found http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Additional_options_for_the_radeon_driver#Video_overlay and used xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1 with http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/dist/xvattr-1.3.tar.gz and it worked. BTW: Is there a reason why xvattr is not packaged in Debian? pgpkQ658EtYMZ.pgp Description: PGP signature

It probably doesn't use the video overlay but the 3D engine for video playback. The overlay definitely couldn't do the genie effect. ;) > BTW: Is there a reason why xvattr is not packaged in Debian? Nobody's done it? :) It's in Guido Guenther's repository though. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

For users best would be a real xvattr package. (I can use a selfbuild version.) Is there someone where I can vote for an official package? Best, Bernhard pgpfgISnsWJMq.pgp Description: PGP signature

There was some disagreement as to which package this should be added to, IIRC. Anyway, you can achieve the overlay setting as a radeon driver option in xorg.conf.

I had the same situation with mplayer if mplayer use xv as video output driver. Using vo=x11 in my ~/.mplayer/config is a solution. Best regards, Bin Hints appreciated.

What a shame the videoadapter section in xorg.conf is still undocumented. I'll go package the xvattr binary, then.

Re: xorg ati external display and XVIDEO
You can stop the scolling of your powerbooks LCD by setting MergedNonRectangular to true in your device section. This is what mine looks like:Option "UseFBDev" "false"Option "MergedFB" true Option "MergedNonRectangular" "true"Option "CRT2Position "LeftOf"xine video works fine for me on both displays.On 5/11/06, Bernhard Reiter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Tue, May 09, 2006 at 01:12:50PM +0200, Michael Schmitz wrote:> > > Anyway, you can achieve the overlay setting as a radeon driver option in> > > xorg.conf.> >> > This has been removed in favour of the Xv adaptor port attribute. >> Oops.
