Some recent update has completely messed up video playback on
my system. I believe mplayer uses the 'xv' output by default
and it now looks like it only manages to update a band here

through a shredder and pasted back together with the wrong
strips :-).
If I play with the 'gl_nosw' output driver, there are no problems
(so that's the obvious work around).
The only X related update I notice recently was a bunch of
mesa libraries on April 30th.
But I have all the same mesa libs on my system at work and
it has no problems. At work I have the radeon driver, at
home I have the intel driver, so maybe it is an intel driver
problem (but the intel driver hasn't been updated recently).
Any idea what component I should report this against?
Anyone else see the same thing? (It isn't isolated to
mplayer - I get the same corruption in vlc, etc).
It may still be the mesa issues....
I say this because I am having no problems with nVidia HW and the nVidia drivers from
rpmfusion while others are having problems. There are also others having problems with
one type of Intel graphics card, but not another type.
So, the bug needs a specific situation to become apparent. This is probably why it
wasn't discovered initially.
