Hi.
Since the recent "Xorg upgrade that broke a lot of things", the xv backend doesn't work anymore - hence, no fullscreen for mplayer, as it falls back to x11 backend.
when I start mplayer, I get this message :
[VO_XV] It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.xvinfo gives :
$ xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors presentI noticed this post which describes the same issue, and the solution is to disable KMS. Unfortunately, I have to enable this option, otherwise X doesn't work at all (worse, it freezes my system).
any clue ?

I noticed this too, but I've found x11 to perform better than xv. Have you tried x11?

x11 does colorspace conversion and scaling in software, which is slooooooow. A better alternative to x11 is gl:
mplayer -vo gl:yuv=2Offline
I tried the gl setting. Two of the three video's I tested, displayed in black and white. Do you know what causes this?

Try this, but no guarantee it'll work:
mplayer -vo gl:yuv=2:nomanyfmtsYou can also try different values for yuv (the mplayer manpage explains what they do).

mplayer -vo glthis did the trick for me - but still, i915 + KMS = no Xvideo support, though.

Which intel video chipset are you using?

There is a bug for the intel 855GM chipset and the XV overlay. I don't believe the fix made it into the 2.6.32 kernel. If it didn't we'll have to wait until 2.6.33 kernel or I believe there is a patch out there. Sorry for not being more precise.
