 |

And, the only reason this bothers me, is it's the only way I could get fullscreen... or heck, resize the screen at all. This used to work until I upgraded Mplayer. Idea's?

| I am afraid to suggest this, but have you tried to reboot? I found that xv is very unstable on my system. Sometimes it works, sometimes it refuses. Often after I watch something with x11 output, xv only displays garbage afterwards. I suspect this relies on some hardware state. the only good way of resetting I know is to reboot (or even power off for a minute or so). |

My computer is turned off nightly.

Progress.
| Code: |
It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read DOCS/HTML/en/devices.html#xv!
See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
|
Soooo....
| Code: |
bigun $ xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present
|
So, how do I get X-video support?

I guess it depends on the xserver that you are using. I have just switched from the S3 Virge xserver to the VESA compliant one, on my old notebook yesterday. The effect is that I do not have xv any more  . The good thing is that I do not get font corruptions and inpredictable lock ups. I do not know what other xserver would work with my ancient trident and support xv.
It would be good to have a list of xservers supported by xv. If you find one, post it here 
PS. In case you do not know: you change your xserver (aka video driver) by changing your xorg.conf or using xorgconfig and selecting a different video card. |

Problem with that is that I'm extremely limited with drivers, I have an ATI.

Ok, yup, anything that uses xv is messed up. GXMame doesn't work all that well either now.

I have found this:
| Quote: |
XVideo (Xv) support
Xv is an extension to XFree86 that allows applications to perform scaling and colourspace conversion of video streams using the graphics hardware. This is commonly referred to as a video 'overlay'. If you like fullscreen video, especially DVDs, you want Xv support.
Xv is supported on the Matrox G400, Intel i810/i815 and S3 Savage chipsets using the standard XFree86 drivers. nVidia's drivers support Xv on nVidia cards. Also, for ATI cards, the GATOS project (http://www.linuxvideo.org/gatos/) provides Xv support for several ATI cards. |
The link is dead, though. And the info is not quite correct, as I enjoy a decently working xv on a trident cyberblade. |

Could you tell which version of mplayer did work for you? I also cannot get xv to work with mplayer-1.0_pre6, although xvinfo says it is there. |

Could you please post your xorg.conf or at least this part?
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "trident"
VendorName "Trident Microsystems"
BoardName "CyberBlade/i1"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
|
xvinfo says xv is working for me but mplayer -xv and xine don't like it... I seem to be having the same problem with my CyberBlade as this guy -- nothing but green and magenta noise.

It comes nowhere close to the cleverness of yours:
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "My Video Card (Trident)"
Driver "trident"
VideoRam 16384
BoardName "Unknown"
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
|
I am afraid this is unrelated. If it helps, this is the info on my card:

It is a notebook edition (IBM Thinkpad).
I say xv works decently, but I do not say it works perfectly. Sometimes I get a completely distorter view with pink patterns. For some movies I could not fix it, for others it was sufficient to reboot. I noticed that I often have problems with xv if I had run x11 during the same uptime (or a DGA application such as vmware). |

|
|
Oh yeah! I just have discovered that mplayer+xv works on my trident cyberblade in 16bit colors mode, but not with 24-bit color. With 24-bit color I get the "usual" green screen (no video). With 16-bit colors I can watch DVDs without any issues. Both image quality and performance is fine.
This is despite the fact that xvinfo says my card is supported in both modes. So check the modes you never tried before! |
