Bug#230558: Xv on Trident CyberBlade/i1
I believe I am experiencing this same Xv problem with my Trident
CyberBlade/i1 rev6a integrated with VT82C586 motherboard, running Xorg
6.8.0 and 6.8.2-rc2. I get green + noisy flecks using any Xv app, but
ONLY when X has been put in a mode where either screen width or height is
greater than 1024 (1024x1024 is the "Maximum XvImage size" reported by
xvinfo). This applies to both 16bpp and 24bpp so I think it's related to
dimension rather than amount of memory. However I notice the original
poster had this problem in 1024x768x24 so perhaps these are two different
issues. His screenshot URL is no longer valid so I can't compare. I have
been unable to get a screenshot of this effect with Xwd or Ksnapshot,
ostensibly because they don't capture overlays like the Xv extension.
This has been mentioned on an MPlayer list and a Gentoo forum, and a bug
has been filed against Xorg.
