Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I have a dual screen configuration, with a Dell Inspiron 640m laptop and an external LG flat screen. Both have a 1440x900 resolution, so I have a 2880x900 virtual resolution. After a clean Karmic install, I'm unable to reproduce a video with Totem/VLC/MPlayer; I hear audio and see the progress bar move as the video plays but there is no video output (only black). But if I reproduce the same video with mplayer, and select 'X11 (XImage/Shm)' video driver, the video is displayed correctly. The problem appears when the default 'XV' video driver is selected.
Thank you very much :-)

Has anyone found a workaround for this? Also, if there is any other output I need to provide to help with the troubleshooting, please let me know. This problem makes it hard for me to use my ubuntu machine as a conference room presentation pc because I can't play videos when the secondar monitor is attached.
Thanks very much!
