Lightbulb Xv video playback black, XOrg/Kubuntu/Radeon [SOLVED]


My main motherboard died so I put my drive with Kubuntu 7.10 into my older box for temporary use. The now-dead machine was an MSI board with NVidia 6150 graphics. Now it's on an Athlon system with a ATI Radeon R250. I had the NVidia drivers installed, but I removed them with Adept and got X working with the standard ati/radeon drivers (not fglrx). All of the other hardware was automatically discovered. I'm output via DVI to an Acer AL2216W 1680x1050.

At first I had a problem with the desktop being limited to 1024x768, even though 1680x1050 was working on the display. I fixed that with the PanelSize option in xorg.conf.

Everything seems to be working now except Xv output of video. Anything using Xv (Kaffeine, mplayer, VLC) plays the sound, and the timeline slider is correct, but the video output is black. If I use mplayer -vo x11 or -vo gl video outputs as expected. I do not get any error messages from any of the players, and I don't see anything in the xorg logs, either. I have tried quite a few options in xorg.conf, but nothing seems to work. I've also tried messing with the xvattr GUI (brightness, etc).

Kubuntu is fully patched, and all the other hardware seems to work just fine. I haven't had much luck searching Google or various forums for this issue. Also, I can't seem to find a lot of information about how to diagnose the problem. I'm a software developer, and generally can tackle problems like this, but I can't even figure out what the problem is at this point. MPlayer and Kaffeine don't report any errors, and I don't see anything in the logs anywhere.

The only thing I can think of is that somehow the NVidia drivers are conflicting somewhere. While searching on this issue I found one instance where a guy said he had a similar problem and had to resintall. I don't know if that was the actual solution, but I did try using Adept to force a reinstall of the kernel modules and mesa stuff to no avail.

I would just leave this alone, but we use the box as a PVR and I need to be able to watch shows. Using mplayer with x11 output isn't great because the video can't be resized. Also, I'm having a separate problem with gl output. It plays fine for a few minutes, then starts blacking out periodically to the point of being unwatchable. I don't know if that problem is related or a separate issue.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
John



The relevant lspci:

Part of xorg.conf. As noted, I've tried several options:

I finally figured it out! I tried a couple more things I found (after like the millionth search), like loading the radeonfb module that I hadn't before. By itself this didn't work. However, I was playing with xvattr again and tried I think the only setting I hadn't played with yet - XV_CRTC. It was -1, and needed to be 1. I'm not sure exactly what this does, and Google only has a couple dozen results, but with -1 and 0 my screen is black, at 1 the video is fine. Hopefully I will have no other problems!
