After enabling KMS in kernel 2.6.31 i have problems running VLC

X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8
  Major opcode: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Resource id:  0x4000036
[0x836c11c] xcb_xv generic error: cannot create X11 window: X11 error 8
[0xb709b2ec] xcb_x11 generic error: cannot create X11 window: X11 error 8
[0xb700cd6c] main generic error: no vout display module matched "directfb"
[0xb709bd7c] main generic error: no vout display module matched "sdl"
[0xb709bd7c] fb generic error: cannot get terminal mode (Invalid argument)

VLC opens up and the main window where the movie should be played is blank.

It's not a movie problem as it runs on MPlayer, this is happened after using intel 915 with kms enabled on the kernel.

i'm almost 100% sure it's related to it.

I tried using vlc from git as well with no luck.

Out of curiosity, do you have directfb and sdl installed? pacman -Q would tell you. If not, do so. That's my only guess other than perhaps using uvesafb (v86d), but I'm really grasping at straws.

However, it's easy to confirm whether or not KMS is related to your issue. Just undo your steps, and see if VLC is going again.

Well, i guess i was too tired trying this alone

anyhow, i went on an installed directfb, then i edited the PKGBUILD and added: --enable-directfb --enable-sdl
built a new package and installed it, now it runs fine but i still get a small error (although the movie plays fine i guess).

[0x92d7dbc] xcb_xv generic error: Unknown request in XCB vout display

btw, if i downgrade back to the last kernel build i had (2.6.30) it runs fine without rebuilding vlc with directfb
it has something to do with me enabling kms.
