Andrew,
After your suggestion, I decided to learn about Xvideo and ATI Radeon
cards. What I found, after googling a bit, is that the XV_SWITCHCRT
attribute of Xv must be changed from 0 to 1. To accomplish that, after
installed xvattr, it must me run in the followin way:
xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1
Now totem runs like a charm!! The same with VLC and the default video
output module!
The problem with the XV_SWITCHCRT attribute value 0 instead the correct
1, is a common place with many ATI Radeon cards...
Thank you very much for pointed me to the Xvideo stuff
Regards
Marcelo
