Artifacts on screen when playing example content

[ChristofferS]

Playing ~/Examples/Experience ubuntu.ogg leaves artifacts on screen when moving the player around.

The artifacts disappear when the window is refreshed.

Graphics card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. SuperSavage IX/C SDR (rev 05)

using the savage driver.

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Do you use totem-gstreamer or totem-xine? Do you have the issue using an another player?

[ChristofferS (ubuntu-curo)]

This is edgy beta out of the box. I didn't do anything special, so it must totem-gstreamer.

I tried with VLC and got the same artifacts.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

that seems rather a video driver or xorg issue then, reassigning to xserver-xorg-video-savage

I confirm the bug on a default up-to-date Dapper Drake 6.06.1 system.

To reproduce:

1) Have an open Firefox window in the background.

2) Open a movie in totem.

3) Move the Totem window while playing the file.

4) Observe the colour stripes remaining at the previous location of Totem.

The colour effects appear also when Totem resizes when opening a relatively small/large movie file.

Can you try the vesa driver instead, like in bug #41148 ?

[istoyanov (istoyanov)]

The picture anomalies are not observed with the vesa driver, exactly as in Bug #41148.
