Comment 3 for bug 187967

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

This regression bug had the same workaround for me as bug 148408 so the root cause might be the same which would make this a dupe. Until that is clear, I believe it makes sense to have a separate bug report.

The latest version of xserver-xorg-video-ati in gutsy has a number of problems that were not present in the latest feisty version.

This one is about video output being a blue box instead of the moving images for mplayer, totem, xine and all players I tested. The sound played fine. Downgrading to feisty xserver-xorg-video-ati from feisty on an otherwise gutsy machine.
