I have a Thinkpad T30 running Intrepid and see a similar problem - XVideo does not appear.
However, I *think* it might have something to do with the CRTC values and XRANDR.. I have a little script that tweaks some of the xrandr settings, and XVideo starts to work. I created the script fixxv to have the following 3 lines: #!/bin/sh xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1024x768 xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 Once those xrandr settings are made, even if you turn off VGA-0 (xrandr --output VGA-0 --off) Xvideo still works.. So it seems that somehow, the XVideo is defaulting to the wrong CRT channel of the video chip, or something like that. Hope this helps - it's working for me. PS: Setting the S-video output to 800x600 gives me a great picture on my TV, and it does NOT have to be connected when the computer is booted, for those of you who want to watch movies on your TV (VGA-0 works well, too) -- radeon driver can not do xv with AIGLX enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150519 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
