Description Tom Massimi 2012-12-28 13:01:47 CET
Description of problem:

mplayer window is all blank

I installed that kernel on my not-virtual MGA2 installation,
and I see that mplayer cannot play any movies 
(I can hear the sound, but nothing is painted)

Booting with 3.3.8MGA2 let mplayer works regularly

I have MGA3 on vmware with the same kernel and also there
mplayer doesn't work (host system was MGA2 with kernel 3.7.1)

Intel video card (i915 driver) 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-desktop-3.7.1-1.mga3-1-1.mga3

How reproducible:
everytime 

Steps to Reproduce:

1.choose your preferred movie
2.prepare popcorns
3.run mplayer

maybe helps to know that kernek 3.7 had a regression like this one

I have some news about this bug:

- if I run mplayer -vo  X11 filename.avi (or filename.mp4, the only 2 file type I have tested) I can see the video, but that parameter was not necessary on MGA2. more, I have asked to confirm the bug on the forum but it seems that this problem happens only on my machine (https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4100)

- I'm running kernel 3,.7.0  and not 3.7.1 as the latest kernel is installed but it has no entry on the grub menu (see https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4113 for details).
ASAP I'll retry with kernel 3.7.1

Oke, 
And when you don't see anything. Could you provide the output of the command.

kernel 3.7 isn't supported in Mageia 2, but if this happens with Cauldron that's a problem.  Sounds like a problem with XVideo (xv) on your video card.

Please open a new bug if you have problems with xv in Cauldron or Mageia 3.
