Hi,
I am new at Arch and I like it so far.
I have installed kdemod, compiz, I am using the intel video driver (I tried also with the old i810 driver though).. my problem is the following:
the GL output module in VLC is the one that gives better quality (although not perfect) in video reproduction. Unfortunately, when playing a movie in fullscreen I have some black boxes of various sizes, usually wider than higher, that appear on the lower part of the screen, let's say at 1/3 of the screen height from the bottom. They keep on appearing and disappearing, blinking, and it is very annoying while you are watching a movie. The problem is not present with the same settings in Ubuntu Gutsy (of course different version of the X-server).
If I use the option
Option "MIT-SHM" "no"
in xorg.conf I am able to use also the X11 output module in VLC (it crashes without that option, it seems a known problem, I found the workaround on another thread) but the result is REALLY poor!! (very poor resolution, pixelated).
Any idea on how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.
