Hi I am using Ubuntu 7.10 with the latest ati driver 8.3 and xvideo fails. I can only get mplayer to work with openGL here is the result of xine in the terminal

drystan@Angelmedia:~$ xine
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5.
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 ()
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 1885
Current serial number in output stream: 1886

Now direct rendering is working and xvinfo gives:

drystan@Angelmedia:~$ xvinfo

Has anybody got xvideo working with 8.3 ?

Many Thanks

Under Section "Device", try commenting out either VideoOverlay or TexturedOverlay, but not both. From my own experience, I've stuck with OpenGL rendering because it has always worked.
