Well. I sincerely apologise. I *was* on nouveau and I saw this behaviour. I used gstreamer-properties under nvidia and thought I saw an ok test screen, but I must have screwed up somehow? 'cause now I'm back to blackness in nvidia as well.
The only thing I can think of is it is related to suspend on closed lid, which seems to occasionally muddle brightness. I'm going to reboot now, and see if I still get a black screen on vids. At this instant though, it appears the behaviour is the same regardless of whether I am using nouveau or nvidia. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/791900 Title: Sony VPC-F11 (VPCF11GGX) Totem and other gstreamer apps have a black screen unless No Xv is selected in gstreamer-properties under Video Default Output To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/791900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
