Please do not mix reports since it messes up the contents of the
original bug, while this new bug will end up being forgotten. If this
problem still happens with latest 2:2.0.0-3 that has been uploaded
recently, feel free to file a new bug report.

That's another unrelated bug, right? Feel free to file another report
about this (or add a followup to the existing driver crashes).

There have been lots of changes since the old modesetting driver, I
might be hard to locate where the problem appeared...

Does the crash report any X-related error in the terminal where you
launched Xine?

Ok, might be yet another XV problem then. Please try with 2:2.0.0-3, it
got some new XV-relate fixes.

And another resource allocation problem...

2007-05-28 Thread D G

Thank you for the reply. By the way: a bug for 2:2.0.0-2: when you wander onto 
an inactive window, the mouse pointer disappears.

Anyway, I have downgraded to the driver in unstable, bacause of serious 
problems with the one in experimental (eg, ctrl+alt+F1 and you are done :-)  ).

>

remember: with the obsolete -modesetting driver, that is OK. Maybe this one 
needs rechecking and see which feature from the obsolete one is missing in the 
new one (but be careful, with -modesetting, the colours of the AVI were 
horrible).

> What about other operations instead of resize, for
> instance move? 

That's OK. I mean, if you stare at the window border as it is waving, you see 
that the refresh is not perfect. But, in general, moving is OK.

> Which beryl and compiz packages/versions did you try?

Beryl: 0.3.0.x from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ie, from sidux). Compiz (only once, just 
for checking): the one in unstable.

> What about videos outside of both beryl and compiz ? 

OK, but after installing xine from experimental. With the one in unstable, the 
image freezes after a few seconds (on metacity, in Beryl it crashes from the 
beginning).

Wow! With x11, even on Beryl,  mplayer works! But it is the only one that 
works in beryl. Totem (with xine) and vlc hang. Idem gmplayer with xv. Look,

I am sure resizing windows is supposed to be fast as of now. Lots of
people have seen it being slow, at least on r300 (I don't remember about
intel boards). What about other operations instead of resize, for
instance move? Which beryl and compiz packages/versions did you try?

What about videos outside of both beryl and compiz ? Which video plugin
are you using when playing these videos? For instance, in mplayer, you
can do mplayer -vo x11 foo.avi to use the x11 plugin. Please try at
least x11 and xv.

Thank you for the effort.

Not really, this version seems not to give any difference: beryl is still 
bloated (eg, when resizing a window) and AVI videos do not play either on Beryl 
or Compiz.

Maybe an interesting point to start from is that, with the (obsolete) package 
xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting from unstable, Beryl works OK and AVI 
videos do play on Beryl. The bad point here was that the colours for the AVI 
files were horrible. 

But the two positive points about that package could be a good starting point.
