Full Version: xbmc plays video black&white with compiz on
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi All,

The title says it all. Is there any way to get xbmc to behave with a composite screen, it works perfectly with composite off, but I use composite on most of the time..

I am running gnome with compiz installed and using gtk window themes on archlinux.

Cheers,
Bernie
This is probably outside our hands, I run compiz on my desktop (and many I would bet) which I develop on. I have no problems running xbmc.

I'd suggest checking different versions of compiz or check your drivers, I'm fairly certain its outside xbmc space.

Cheers,
Tobias

I am using the latest catalyst drivers to go with xorg-server 1.9.0, can anyone verify that combo works ..

Cheers,
Bernie
Black&white means the shader doesn't work correctly, please post a debug log.
Ok, here is the gist of the log file, I don't know how to attach the complete thing:

Nothing wrong there, you can test with setting render method to basic shaders(arb) or to software.
Thanks, setting to basic shaders did the trick. I wonder why I don't have advanced shading support anymore since the upgrade to catalyst and xorg-server ..

Edit: glxinfo shows: OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30

Bernie
Well, you still do, it just isn't working.
