[MPlayer-users] fullscreen using xv on Toshiba M30 with Nvidia Go 5200

[Tobias Kreisel]

Hi everybody!

My problem is that as soon switching to fullscreen there are strange 
horizontal lines all across the screen - especially in brighter areas 
(other vo work quite well, but I would really like to stick with xv and 
its superb performance). An interesting aspect is that when playing two 
files at once the second one has an immaculate fullscreen picture (of 
course this "workaround" costs the performance advantage).
One other thing I discovered: The above mentioned lines do not only 
appear in fullscreen but also when a window is stretched beyond the 
borders of a desktop - the display problems start as soon as the 
horizontal resolution gets above 1270 (the laptop's native resolution is 
1280x800; I'm using the latest NVidia binary drivers (version 5336)).
While searching the mailing list I found a similar post und Sascha 
Sommer advised to try vidix. So I did, unfortunately with little luck, 
calling

# mplayer -vo xvidix -vf format=uyvy -vc divxds -v file.avi

(as root) gives me:

...
X11 opening display: :0.0
vo: X11 color mask:  FFFFFF  (R:FF0000 G:FF00 B:FF)
vo: X11 running at 1280x800 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0.0" => local 
display)

On my system the driver is located in:
/usr/local/lib/mplayer/vidix/nvidia_vid.so

Is there anything I failed to configure? Any idea what could get xv to 
work properly?

thanks for reading!
