Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-15
When an application (e.g. xine, gxine) uses XV to render an area, that
area is always on top of all other visual elements. It persists over the
app's own pulldown menus, other app's windows dragged over the area,
even on other virtual desktops. Originally I reported this issue as bug
#228315 for the gxine package; the maintainer of that package diagnosed
this as a problem with XV. He suggested that either a propritary driver
or X11 must be at fault. I am not using a propritary driver, so I am
reporting this as a problem with X11.
I have a Radeon VE video card and am using the ati driver. I use the
sawfish WM, in case that is relevant. I am including my XF86Config-4
file as an attachment.
# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file) generated by Dexconf, the
