This also produces the problem. I.E window opens with lime green pattern.
So it appears that your theory of it being an X server problem with the Xv 
output is the most likely reason.

Obvious next question, what can I do about it or is this a limitation of 
the graphics card. I.E card can do 1152x864 or Xv but not both!

New driver, new Xorg?

So, the next thing you want is to identify whether it's a problem with your
Xserver or with Xine's use of the Xv extension. 

If you have mplayer or gstreamer tools installed, you can try their Xv
output.

For example, in Gstreamer 0.8 you could try something like

gst-launch-0.8 videotestsrc ! xvimagesink

and to stress it a bit more

gst-launch-0.8 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=1440,height=1152 ! xvimagesink

It sounds like an X server problem with the Xv output. The xvinfo command
tells you about the Xv extension that xine is probably using. You might try
the xshm output with 'xine -V xshm' and see if that is ok. XShm output will
use more cpu, but will avoid the Xv output and might work.

[SLUG] Xine Colour display problem

2004-09-29 Thread Peter Rundle
Sluggers,
When I try to run Xine on a FC2 desktop, with xorg 16 bit display and 
1152x864 the Xine display comes up with a kind of lime green test pattern 
with semi-horizontal black lines zig-zagged across the Xine window. It 
appears to play the video no problems but I can't see it. Some sort of 
colour table/refresh problem. (All other windows display fine)

If I edit xorg.conf and drop back to 1024x768 the Xine window works 
perfectly. I tried to go up to 24 bit colour but the monitor/card couldn't 
take it.

Any cluesticks. Enlightenment window manager, Trident Blade3D card, generic 
17" monitor.

TIA's
Pete
