Further to this I have carried out a few other tests. This only occurs with the XVideo driver. XSHM does not display it, but cannot handle the 1024 video. Upgrading the xine-libe (Was 1.1.2, now 1.1.4) makes no difference. The artifact is also present with MPlayer. In MPlayer, switching from windowed to fullscreen has no effect, but switching from fullscreen back to windowed replaces the one gradient with two, arranged vertically in the place of the original one. This returns to being a single one when you go back to fullscreen and remains as two in the windowed mode.

It does not do this with smaller videos expanded to fullscreen, which implies that it's related to the quantity of data being provided. Does anyone have any links to any other video at this resolution that might be used to test it further?

A full reboot makes no difference.

Thanks,
Jon
