no video on external screen

before the xorg update last week everyting was fine

i'm running arch on a laptop with a: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M24 1P [Radeon Mobility X600]

now if i'm not "mirroring" i'm not able to see a video player output on my external screen what is really annoying

i read about some xorg update issues but none describes my problem

Re: no video on external screen

I've been having the same issue, but since before last week. I'm running an ATI Radeon Mobility 9700, with the xf86-video-ati drivers.

I did figure out that running xcompmgr fixes it (works under both openbox and dwm). However, I'd like to see if there's another solution.

but maybe there is a solution without having an extra process running ...
