I've been having this kind of problems too. The problem appears exactly as described above. Very randomly xv mode playback gets heavily distorted (attachment). Running Nvidia restricted driver (nvidia- glx_1.0.9639+2.6.22.4-14.9_i386).
I've noticed that this bug usually appears after a long uptime. For example, if I let my pc run over night it is very likely that xv mode will be distorted in the morning. ** Attachment added: "xv_mode.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12908058/xv_mode.png -- xvideo mode does not always work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161873 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
