Comment 7 Dave Airlie 2009-04-01 23:01:40 UTC
You can't have KMS and Xv at the same time yet as the code to join the dots isn't written yet.


if this is a pre-r600 card, try the latest xorg-x11-drv-ati from koji which shuold fix it.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 12:52:15 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

I got a similar message when doing the XVideo test[1] for radeon test day.[2]

gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv)': Could not initialise Xv output [xvimagesink.c(1412): gst_xvimagesink_get_xv_support (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstXvImageSink:xvimagesink2:No port available]

playback in totem was fine except for some video corruption when parts of the video is by another window (always on top ticked) while moving around the totem window. The video was also a little jerky while moving around.

While repeating this test for the fast user switch test[3], I get this in the terminal while playback:

The video output is in use by another application. Please close other video applications, or select another video output in the Multimedia Systems Selector

Comment 10 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-05 18:24:03 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

[This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

Comment 11 Jerry Amundson 2009-11-05 21:01:44 UTC
I can no longer reproduce this on either fc11 or fc12.

Comment 12 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-08 23:27:46 UTC
Thank you for letting us know.
