I have an x800xl with dualhead and Gutsy's free radeon driver. I find Xv to work (only on one screen at a time, but whatever) for some random amount of attempts during a session. After that, apparently the Xv port fails to be released for use by new clients, even after making sure the old player instances are dead.
The problem persists independent of video player; mplayer in particular gives this complaint: Xv: could not grab port 65 Could not find free Xvideo port - maybe another process is already using it. Close all video applications, and try again. If that does not help, see 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. This is highly detrimental to proper video playback, and was a problem in Feisty too (I recall reporting it, but apparently not, or maybe somewhere else then). Before Feisty, same computer, same card, no problem, so it's a regression even. If you'd ask me, I'd bump it up a bit from "low"... -- XVideo doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150274 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
