Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2009-04-07 23:32:30 UTC
As a bug report, this is about useless.
At the very least, attach:
- your xorg.conf
- your Xorg log

Perhaps try to rebuild mplayer first.

Of course i tried to rebuild before adding bug, here Xorg.conf:

Feel free to ask more info, logs, config files.
Comment 5 Vytautas 2009-04-08 11:30:02 UTC
I changed video driver to vesa and it works. 
Problem in driver I think.
Comment 6 Rafał Mużyło 2009-04-08 14:33:02 UTC
Well, with intel, it may be a bit tricky:
- 2.6.29 (.28 too, I think) do intel dri by GEM,
but on earlier kernels it's done in a different way.
Comment 7 Vytautas 2009-04-11 12:03:27 UTC
I have 2.6.27-r7 now. 
Maybe I will try to update to 2.6.28 this week. 
If I will do this I will post results here.
Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-16 04:02:05 UTC
Please reopen this bug report when you are done testing, and then post your `emerge --info' too.
Comment 9 Vytautas 2009-04-16 08:22:34 UTC
I also have 2.6.28-r4 now. (updated).
It is almost fixed now with this kernel.

I can play video normaly and even few videos, but after video playing IF I press ctrl+alt+bcksp or atrl+alt+F1 system crashes leaving just black, empty screen of death. 

Shoud I leave this as FIXED and submit new bug now?
Should I try 2.6.29?

I will post emerge --info next day.

Comment 11 Vytautas 2009-04-17 12:24:10 UTC
I tried mplayer 29040 nothing changed.
I tried kernel 2.6.29-r1 and xorg do not work at all with it (strange colorful lines only).

I am having the same problem. Is there some workaround (downgrade of xf86-video-intel or xorg-server) for stable packages?

You can try 'mplayer -vo x11' (or put vo=x11 ~/.mplayer/config). It crashes for me when using to xv driver.
Comment 15 ta2002 2009-04-21 06:33:21 UTC
It seems like Ubuntu found a patch for this:

Sounds similar. You say you have it working with xf86-video-intel-2.6.1? I am definitely going to downgrade something to try to get this working again - I just haven't figured out exactly what yet. :) The video driver would be a much easier downgrade than xorg-server (if it works).
Comment 18 Octavian 2009-04-22 19:36:26 UTC
Yes downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.6.1
Comment 19 Vytautas 2009-04-23 11:33:34 UTC
kernel 2.6.28-r4 and xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 do not work at all for me just black screen and mouse.

Can someone do it in most simple way and just copy patch from Ubuntu to Gentoo?
Comment 20 Octavian 2009-04-24 20:12:40 UTC
you need kernel 2.6.27 not 2.6.28
Comment 21 Vytautas 2009-04-25 07:56:11 UTC
kernel 2.6.28-r5 is stable now. So it works too?
Stable means stable or I have to mask it?
(Also look comment  #6).
Comment 22 Octavian 2009-04-25 11:30:12 UTC
yes that's why you need 2.6.27.

After you have a stable situation you can start experimenting.

I will do the same but most likely with 2.6.29 and xorg 1.6 from overlay
Comment 23 Vytautas 2009-04-25 13:57:20 UTC
I think I will follow #14 and wait until stable will become stable again (this bug fixed). I do not see other problems maybe wine also slower, but I do not care about other things much.
Comment 24 Vytautas 2009-04-27 10:38:59 UTC
I had free time for lappy so compilled 2.6.27-r10 and it do not work with xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 too. 
I think unmasking 2.6.1 is just waste of time, that thing is 100% usless.

Well in my case xf86-video-intel-2.6.3-r1 is broken on two PC's, 
- one intel 865G: when playing in XV, instant crash no matter the kernel.
- another one 9*: 3d very slow.

However xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 works only with 2.6.27* not with 2.6.28 since I get errors about "Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer"

Comment 27 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-28 06:46:23 UTC
To all,

Please try to keep this bug on topic, the discussion here is getting a bit out of hand.

If you all want to try something, please fetch the "drm-intel-2.6.29" branch from Eric Anholt's kernel tree [1] along with the latest -intel driver.

I'll be putting 2.7.0 in Portage in a few days, so please try that as well when you can.

Thanks
Comment 28 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-05 11:48:41 UTC
Ok, I'm closing this bug because nothing good will come out of it anymore :)

To all who posted here :
 - please update to the _latest_ ~arch versions of the kernel, libdrm and xf86-video-intel
 - please give a try to xf86-video-intel 2.7 (yes it's in p.mask but it's temporary)
 - once xorg-server 1.6 hits portage, please try it as well

If you still have issues, please don't hesitate to open _new_ bugs.

Thanks to all
Comment 29 Vytautas 2009-05-12 07:29:09 UTC
I simply unmasked 2.7 video driver+new version of lib it needed and everything works fine. Everything else is current 'stable' version.
--
I do not see reasons to hardmask 2.7 it should be stabilized soon.
