Comment 16 for bug 774008

Wallace and Gromit! We have to get this working! :)

It is interesting that the direct GStreamer playback worked. I wonder if the problem is due to compositing, or to Totem, or both. We can also see in the terminal output that Xvideo is being used - I'm not sure if this is the case when playing the file in Totem. I presume the ERROR message appeared when you closed the window after 36.87 seconds of playback, before the end of the video.

I think I've just figured out why the dmesg grep for drm didn't work. Grep is a search tool and your result is likely to be expected if DRM (the kernel's Direct Rendering Manager) is not being used at all. I've just tried grepping dmesg for "gromit" and there was no output. So just attach the entire dmesg file:

cat dmesg > filename.txt

Don't forget to navigate to /var/log first.

Hopefully that will tell us what is going on graphics-wise in the kernel during boot.
