VLC & Compiz

[ToxicWaste]

I have the following problem:
Since I installed Compiz Fusion on my desktop, I can't seem to get VLC or any other media player to play video files correctly. I remember back when I used 10.3 with Compiz Emerald, I never had this problem.

Thanks in advance

My System reqs are:
Intel Dual Core T2500 @ 2.00GHz
1 GB RAM
ATI X1600 Mobility
OpenSuse 11.0
GNOME

Problems:

1. My VLC will play with flashes (black colour) and the sound will not work.




2. My MPlayer will play with flashes (blue colour) and sound works.

since they are totally different players i assume this is a graphics issue if you disable compiz does this problem go away . what graphcs card are you using

[ToxicWaste]

ATI X1600 Mobility and yes if I disable Compiz everything is fine

[scrarfussi]

have you installed the right ati drivers

[ToxicWaste]

I installed the drivers from this link ATI - openSUSE

[scrarfussi]

check this out

Xgl - openSUSE

install xgl you will see some settings there for video playback

Ok, problem solved!

I switched my video output to X11 in all my players and now everything works great!

Thanks for all the help
Good night!
