Re: DVD video black on ubuntu edgy - ati 8.28.8 drivers (9600pro)

Dances With Crows ha scritto:
I just set up [an] ubuntu edgy box. I installed all the stuff needed
to watch DVDs (gstreamer, css and so on) but all I can do is to listen
[to] audio from DVDs; the video is always black. What's the problem?


thanks for your help. Before answering you I have to tell that I can't
see any video at all (mpeg, divx etc). I have installed gstreamer 0.8
and 0.10 good and bad. Is it possible there is some conflict? I tried
to uninstall some but it is like a h-bomb: everything depends on
gstreamer!

Not enough info to tell. It might be an XV problem--does "xvinfo" or

the output here below

"xdpyinfo | grep XV" report anything? Start your DVD player from an

filippo@iluvatar:~$ xdpyinfo |grep XV
XVideo

xterm/konsole, then reproduce all of its output for us.

no stdoutput/stderror from VLC and Movie Player

Which X module are you using? Hope it's not VESA.

fglrx

Is there anything related to X or the DVD-R* in the output from dmesg?

no

Here below the output from "xvinfo"
