Please guys.. another round of tests. New driver is up here: http://people.no-name-yet.com/~fabbione/nv/i386/ You should know the drill by now. Hello Fabio, the new driver works with both 1-7 and 1-7+SVN! No problems in mplayer whatsoever. Thank you for the work!

But there are no doubts that the changes to the driver (that now supports much more hardware) have introduced this change. Not quite all the other players. I'm also experiencing problems with tvtime (a program to watch tv which uses the xvideo extension) which I'm describing in an older post to this bug. Maybe this is too a bug in tvtime triggered by the changes in nv_drv.o.

Bug#271235: 1-7+SVN works fine with driver from 1-6
Hello Fabio, the nv_drv.o from 1-6 works fine with the new 1-7+SVN package. No gray window in mplayer and tvtime is also happy. nv_drv.o from 1-6 should also work with xserver-xfree86 1-7 (I'm using 1-7 with nv_drv.o from 1-4, but the 1-4 and 1-6 drivers are the same).

Do you think you can do this test? Certainly. Unfortunately mplayer doesn't work with the driver from -7 and the -7+SVN package, it fails with the same behavior (gray window, no video).

Bug#271235: new nv driver that should fix Xv extensions: please, test!
Hello Fabio, The new driver doesn't seem to work on my GeForce2 MX400. I encounter the same behavior as before from both mplayer (gray window) and tvtime. Even restarted X a few times, didn't help. Xine works fine. Best regards, Andrei -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] # http://movzx.net # ICQ: 52641547
Bug#271235: (no subject)
I noticed another interesting thing when I do these steps: - I run xine and watch a movie for a few seconds, quit - I run tvtime - I observe the behavior I described (incorrect redrawing, only part of the image in fullscreen), quit - I run mplayer and watch a movie, quit - I run tvtime - no more incorrect behavior I'm encoutering this with dfsg.1-7 and nv_drv.o from 1-4 or NVIDIA driver 1.0.6111. Needless to say there was no such behavior before upgrading to 1-7. IMHO this shows that more things are broken in 1-7 than only the nv driver. Let me know if there's anything I can test.

Bug#271235: Additional info
In case this helps, the problem seems to lie in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.o I tried to replace this file with the one from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4, just to see what happens. Everything seems to work fine, both mplayer and tvtime. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#271235: xserver-xfree86: [nv] XVideo fails silently (but visually) in mplayer
I'm experiencing this bug too with the same xserver-xfree86 version (4.3.0.dfsg.1-7) on the same configuration (NVidia GeForce2 MX400, nv driver which comes with XFree86). MPlayer doesn't show the video and tvtime (which also uses the XVideo extension) misbehaves too. The image shows, but it doesn't redraw areas previously covered by other windows and in full screen mode only a part of the image is displayed). There are no error messages in the XFree86 log, nor MPlayer nor tvtime display any. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
