After moving to 2.6.6-r2 and emerge -U world (xine-libs and mplayer were among updated packages), video is unplayable on my system.

In xine, the screen just stays blank but the seek bar continues to move. Occurs with .avi, .mpeg, dvd:/ and all others I tried. Changing the render driver (auto, xv, sdl) makes no difference. No particularily interesting console output:
Code:
wizard_ct@moothecow wizard_ct $ xine
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.9.23.
(c) 2000-2003 The xine Team.


Mplayer is a little different - it opens for a split second then crashes out playing any format using any driver. Console output:
Code:
wizard_ct@moothecow wizard_ct $ mplayer /dev/cdroms/cdrom0

  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your

  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x61)!


That insufficient resources line is particularily interesting. I have 768mb ram and it's never any more than half full - so I can't figure out what resources it's talking about. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the fact that I upgraded my kernel, but am still using a version of xorg I compiled on the last kernel
Code:
wizard_ct@moothecow wizard_ct $ X -version
 
Release Date: 18 December 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.3 i686 [ELF]
Current Operating System: Linux moothecow 2.6.6-rc2 #2 SMP Sun May 2 00:45:14 GMT 2004 i686
Build Date: 20 April 2004


Xorg worked fine with both xine and mplayer before the update.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Search failed to yield anything promising and this is rather frustrating. Thanks in advance.


Edit - I hate it when answers are stupidly obvious. Logged out and back into x, everything was fine then, heh.

I have exactly the same problem except for the fix.

I restarted my box and it still does not work. restarting X wont fix it either.

any Ideas?

You 2 on ATi cards? X Overlay is broken...

Use the X11 driver (xshm in xine, x11 in mplayer), and it'll work.

I have an ATI Rage 128

I just found out that it works when I runmplayer as root

or with root privileges...

still I do not like to do this generally

the x11 driver is too slow for my hardware: I havee only a 450 mhz machine so I could not view it fullscreen...

I have xinerama with a geforce 2 and a voodoo 3 card. Today I noticed that xvideo diden't work on the voodoo3 screen. It did that before. The only thing I changed was installing xorg and the latest mplayer. It works fine when I run gmplayer as root, just plane mplayer or a movie with small resolution with gmplayer.

I posted a workaround to the bug #47755 to the gentoo bugzilla:

The workaround is:
add
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
in Section "Device" describing the ATI card.

my versions:
xorg-x11 6.7.0
ati-drivers 3.7.6-r1

my screen resolution: 1024x768 @ 32 bits colour depth

so far I have seen no adverse effects of using this option...

Thanks! It also works with a Matrox G550.
