[ug-bosug] XV video output issues

[Anil Gulecha]

Hi all,

I recently installed b64a (the latest SXDE). I then installed mplayer
from the blastwave repo I have on a DVD.

This used to work fine on b55 that I had installed earlier. But it was
now crashing without reason. I asked around on IRC and someone
suggesed I try a different output mode..

mplayer has the following options 1)XV 2)X11 3)openGL 4)Another openGL..

3 and 4 are _very_ slow and not usable. X11 works and i can open and
play videos, however fullscreen doesn't work. looks like the xv
renderer was the only good option but it's broken now. Any ideas on
how I can get this setup or if there is a workaround?

PS : This problem was also on b60 that I had for a few days. I
reported the bug here
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6572818

If it helps, I installed solbundle before I installed mplayer from blastwave.

regards
Anil
