I am posting to say that the same has just started to happen on my system. I just noticed it today, although my last major update was about a week ago, when I also installed the new banshee-1 player. The problem appears as stated above, on either banshee-1 (which I was using when I noticed it) totem, and vlc. I have metacity composite enabled. Cannot deal with compiz. I have the dreaded Sis card. If I disable compiz, then everything works fine. This problem doesn't seem to affect Mplayer though, which displays videos sharply whether composite is enabled or not. Is there a difference in the way mplayer draws video vs totem/vlc/banshee-1?
Attached, fine my lspci ** Attachment added: "lspci.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16352179/lspci.txt -- video playback artifacts when composite manager is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218322 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
