Hiho,

I already reported this in <455F4553.9020109 at tommie-lie.de> and found
time to reinstall compiz yesterday and the problem still persists.
I have Ubuntu's X.org 7.1.1 running on a Intel GMA 950 and latest
compiz. When watching Xvideo files, the overlay window remains black. If
I slightly move the video window, the video appears with the usual
Xvideo quality and smoothness, but it usually disappears soon after or
is overlapped by some black boxes where other window are below the video
window.
Is there any solution to this problem or am I the only one experiencing
this? I start compiz with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set to 1 for it to
recognize AIGLX' GLX_EXT_tfp, but this is another issue...
Would the problem go away if I'd use Xgl? Is Xgl even supported on Intel
graphics cards and is Xgl's Xvideo acceleration still based on fragment
shaders?


Regards,
Thomas
