Description

Tested with a fresh install of FC5T2 fully updated on 20/1/06 I have just done some more testing and found that this problem does not exist in the Thousands of colors mode so I will use that mode until the problem is fixed in the Millions of colours mode. Another thing that I have noticed is that the video does not work in real player on this machine with this video card (AMD Athalon 1200 on a Gigabyte GA7ZXR) I have another machine testing FC5/Rawhide and its video in real player works just fine but this has a different setup (Radeon 9800 Pro video on an Intel SE7505 server board with dual xeon's) altered to FC5T2 instead of devel. Sounds like an acceleration related bug. Try the original configuration you
used, but use Option "noaccel" to disable acceleration temporarily to see if
the problem goes away.
Next test, is to comment out the noaccel option added above, and to try:
Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy"
There are a number of other XaaNo options available which are documented in
the xorg.conf manpage that you can try individually or together to attempt
to narrow the problem down some more as well.
Please update the report to indicate which if any of the above works around
the problem for you.
Thanks in advance.
Any luck with the suggestion from comment #4? I raised this problem again in 179298 because for some reason I lost visibility of this one in mybugs. I flag 179298 as a duplicate and update this one later tonight after todays updates have been installed. *** Bug 179298 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Both options in comment #4 cure the problem. I also tried the one mentioned in your reply to bug 179298 comment #2 Option "XaaNoPixmapCache" but this had no effect. Presumably Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" is prefered to Option "NoAccel" As this leaves other acceleration in effect. These might be additional duplicates of the same issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173625 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5134 New X server build, and nv driver build are available which might possibly resolve the issue also. Please try them and let me know if there's any change: xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-1 xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.0.1.5-1 I can confirm that all is now OK when using the new driver. The issue reported is nolonger apparent. Cool, thanks for the update. Setting status to "RAWHIDE" |
