Hello Everyone. I've been having a problem with xbmc video lately. When I play video, I get a black line that starts near the top and falls off the bottom of the screen within 10 seconds, and immediately starts again at the top. The thing is it only happens on one of my 2 connected monitors in clone mode (the one connected through HDMI) and it only started recently. I am running svn33300 on ubuntu 10.04, and I have a ATI raedon 4750 graphics card. the problem only started recently(definitely within the past week and more likely within the past 3 days). I tried turning off desktop effects as many have suggested on the forums, and tried every combination of settings I could find in the menus but it did not help, and I'm out of ideas. anybody else have one?

Thanks in advance

(my xorg.conf file if that will help)

Could it be a wrong refresh rate? Did you change monitors recently?

Or a VSync issue?
Try enabling VSync (XBMC->Video->Playback I think)

I have not changed anything except maybe a new kernel, but I believe the problem started before that. also I have tried enabling the Vsync but it did not make a difference

no one has any ideas? I also just tried reinstalling fglrx, and that didn't work either
