Hi,
This was originally posted to debian-user, but aside from the thread getting threadjacked to systemd, I did not get an answer.
In any case, my wife has a Dell Inspiron 5537, 15" laptop. It has an Intel Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller.
Here is my problem. When I try to play a video on this machine, either with mplayer or vlc,
the video starts, and I will get about 1/2" of the frame that is
actually playing, usually it is at the top. The audio plays normally.
This happens whether in a window or full screen.
Videos played in the browser are fine, however, those downloaded from sites played in mplayer or vlc exhibit the same behavior as above.
