</div>This is not slightly incorrect. What you are seeing is ...err, well what<br>
you are seeing. The xvmc setup I was describing did not and does not use<br>
any opengl. These are completely different problems with similar<br>
symptoms. And the xvmc problem is not just a slight tint to the color;<br>
it is a bright green/black pixelated picture. And you can only get it by<br>
re-compiling the intel driver with revised frame sizes in the xvmc<br>
branch. Which I am sure you did not do.<br>
<br>
As for what is causing your problem...must be global warming 'cause it's<br>
green.....<br>
<br>
Fixing it is easy. Use xv. As your mother used to say to you: Don't *DO*<br>
that!.<br>

Geoff<br></blockquote></div><br>wow, jump down my throat. I didn't mean to offend you, I was just stating the differences in what I was seeing and what I read on the wiki. Maybe I should have used my backspace key instead of correcting myself inline. I realize they are not the same problem (as I'm not using xvmc), but just similar symptoms. Again, I was just reporting what I was seeing in case anyone out there was also having this problem, because I couldn't find any info on it anywhere except that one statement, which as we have determined is not the same exact problem.<br>
<br>Just found this as well.<br><a href="http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5999">http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5999</a><br>Although I'm not sure if its exactly the same problem either. He can't get xv-blit to work, but i'm only seeing the problem with gl.<br>
