Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mythtv
Basic Specs:
Ubuntu64 8.04.1
Myth 0.21.0
Intel E2180
4GB ram
Intel X48C chipset
Ati 4850 video (using proprietary driver Catalyst 8.7)
If I use the Qt renderer, the video is all distorted on every screen -
it looks like bands across the screen are progressively shifted to the
left more and more as you go down the screen, and it also mixes up the
order of the segments of the band - the top band is actually rendered
properly, but any text on the UI is unreadable and the video is
unwatchable, but you can tell that they're both there. If I use the GL
renderer, then the UI renders like the Qt renderer while it's prescaling
the theme, but after that stage it sorts things out and works, until I
try to enter (a) any menu other than the theme main sections (eg. I can
go Settings->Setup alright, but once I hit, say, Appearance it messes
up) or (b) video then I get the image of the screen I was just supposed
to have left, however you can tell that it did go to the selected screen
- I can hear sound from the video, and If I try to exit (that screen
doesn't render either) but I can press down->enter and it will exit.
Running it from the console doesn't provide any help as far as I can
see, but I attached it anyway in case it helps someone who knows Myth
better than I.
To be honest, this might be an ATI driver bug, however: everything else
on my system works. Totem can play the recorded videos fine, I can use
other OpenGL apps etc etc. I have Compiz turned off.
