Stripes visible in video playback of some Matrox MGA AGP cards

[Jarno Suni]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-mga

There are flashing stipes in the right end of video window, even when playback is paused. Changing window size changes the effect; it might be unvisible in big enough window. Have not seen this effect by other graphics cards. Tested by vlc, totem-gstreamer, xine-ui by default settings. The stripes are not shown, if I choose "X11 video output" module in VLC.

The bug still appears in 12.04 development branch. Tested by vlc player and Matrox MGA G400/G450 (rev 82) graphics.
