I am trying to watch a movie on tv through an s-video cable, but it's black and white, or with very fade colours. I understood that I have to change output to pal. I also understood that I can do it in the xorg.conf file, but I don't have anything like that.
video card: intel x3100
system: ubuntu karmic 9.10
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with a X3100 on board. The problem is the performance doesn't really fit my expectations. Compiz works fairly OK, but TuxRacer runs at 25 FPS, Glest runs just terribly slow and there is quite noticeable tearing in videos (MPlayer and Totem). Not to mention 400-600 FPS in glxgears.So far I have only tampered with Xorg (see below, changes marked red).

I installed KMplayer but I cant play video files...No video output but can get only the audio output...So how to make this work for videos?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an integrated intel video and latest xserver-xorg-video-intel driver(using only stable repo). Now I wanna watch high-res video. From the bits of info collected from all over internet I understood that I need to:
1.aptitude install libdrm libva.
2.compile or find the .deb mplayer-vaapi and install it.
3.add -vo vaapi -va vaapi to the mplayer command line in gnome-mplayer.
My question : is that correct or did I miss something? Do I have to compile latest libdrm and libva or the ones from the squeeze repo will be good? Do I need kms enabled, i.e. install firmware-linux-nonfree?
I just upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 today, and went to watch a movie on my hard drive. I typically do this with an S-Video cord on my TV. In Ubuntu 9.04 I did so simply by plugging in the S-Video cord, then pressing FN+F4 on my keyboard. Worked like a charm.
After the upgrade the same key combination just changes my resolution setting.
I have finally got both video drivers working. Is it me or is the quality of the Intel drivers almost better than the nvidia? I will try something with hardware acceleration soon but the 2D (compiz etc) all works really well.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to figure out how to get the S-Video output working on my T41, and most of the info that I seem to be finding is for older versions before xrandr so files and settings don't seem to match.
I know that it's not a hardware/cable problem because this exact setup works fine under windows (even though there i'm working with a hacked video driver setup since one doesn't exist for any of the "modern" versions of windows, ati radeon 7500 (mobile))
Hardware: HP dv3505ea laptop
Ubuntu: 10.04 LTS
uname -a: Linux adventure 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 23:42:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
HDTV: Panasonic TX-L37D28BSA
I'm having trouble getting any output from my laptop's HDMI socket. I've had a search and can only find sound problems, mine is no visible output whatsoever.
Let me describe the setup: Laptop has a HDMI socket which I have never used before, HDTV has 4 HDMI inputs, I just bought a HDMI cable to connect the two to try it.
After connection I go to System->Preferences->Monitors and the TV is detected fine with the correct description and offers me 3 different resolutions. xrandr also works and gives me the same thing:
Code:
However none of the options display ANYTHING on the TV. The screen remains black, not even a flicker.
I have connected the laptop to the TV before using an analogue VGA (monitor) cable which worked in the same way with no problems.
Could this be an encryption/DRM/DVI problem? I have suspicions about the cable too because it is new and I haven't seen it work, but it wouldn't detect the correct TV description and resolutions would it? It was sold as an XBOX360/PS3 HDMI cable, is there a difference? It looks like a standard HDMI male-male cable.
Other things I've tried:
Log off and log back on to restart the X server
reboot

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been running Ubuntu for about 2 years now. When I first put it on my Dell it was 9.0x. My HDMI port worked just fine to connect to my Plasma to watch movies on. I've only ever connected it 2-3 times. Since Fall '08 I haven't used it again. I never needed to.
Since that time, it stopped working. When available I upgraded to 9.04, 9.40 and now (effective 10.23.10) 10.04. It just doesn't work anymore. Neither VGA or HDMI. I can only assume S-Video will be the same story. Video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8400m GS. Driver is version 173. I installed NVTV tv out (Nvidia Video output controller). It does nothing. When NVTV is typed into terminal, it says; Fatal: No supported video card found.
In the control centre under multi media selector for configuring GStreamer it has Autodetect and two other setting, X Window System (No Xv) and X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv) etc. When I test the X Window System (No Xv) the test card in full screen is far better then autodetect, should I keep this setting, the reason I ask is I can't notice the difference when watching video.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Xubuntu 10.10 on a ThinkPad R50e and on a R51. I want to get them working as fast as possible. Of cause, all updates are done and all codecs for gstreamer have been installed, too.
Parole Media Player tells me to not be able to initialise Xv output, so no video appears on screen.
Then I've started to search for the cause of trouble. Seems to be an Intel grafics adaptor handled by the Vesa module, which I don't know how to change to the correct Intel module (which is installed, by the way).
I've googled for this issue and found few other people talking about. But there was no solution, at least none that I could understand.
Now, I would be really glad if you could help me to find a working solution during the next few days.

I recently installed openSUSE on a new Toshiba and i'm getting very choppy video while watching videos on ....., justin.tv, etc. The video is fine as long as I don't full screen. However, when I try to fullscreen a stream on justin.tv or a ..... video, it instantly becomes choppy and video is extremely delayed in relation to the sound. The sound still continues at it's regular pace, however the video lags behind and is just choppy in general.Also, not sure if this helps, but i'm running an i3 2310M.

on my new dell mini 10v w/ intel 945gme and a fresh install of karmic unr, video playback performance is only so-so.
most videos-style flash video is decent. local h.264 playback from .m4v and .mov containers is flawless. but streaming flash video originating as h.264 is dismally choppy - this includes vimeo and hulu-quality streaming video.
I am fairly new to Ubuntu, so I'm sorry if I don't include any necessary information. Installed 10.10 rc from CD about 3 days prior to official release and everything was working fine... went about installing software and setting up laptop for use. About one week later, got prompted for upgrade and went ahead through update manager. Now can't enable desktop effects. Right after upgrade had a period where title bars of windows would not display... menus were present, but no title bars, no maximize/minimize/close buttons and no dragging windows to new locations on screen That has since resolved itself. Spent quite awhile searching forums, created xorg.conf at one point, later deleted it.

Im trying to be able to output video to my tv with a low end atom cpu box(link below) running debian lenny. I realize it wont likely be true HD video. I also realize I wont be getting surround sound. My tv is a little bit older so it doesnt have a monitor input or I would have tried that. It does have HDMI and component though and i have a DVI to hdmi adapter and audio cables that will work once I have a video out solution. It does have a PCIE expansion bay but the power supply is only like 150w so i dont know that Ill be able to use a regular video card. I had considered some sort of usb output but dont know if any of that will work on linux. Any suggestions? Im pretty novice with the whole computer on my tv area and dont have alot of money to build a whole new system or i would just do that.

Excuse me if this is in the wrong place, I am new to the forum and Debian.
Today, while installing Ubuntu, I had a strange issue with my laptop in which after installation, I heard startup sounds and had no video display. After hours of frustration and about 7 install disks, I plugged my laptop into another monitor, and low and behold, it appears both of my desktops are on the external monitor. After trying to solve this issue, I decided to give the Debian Gnome live CD a try, but I now have the same issue.
Is there a way VLC to use vdpau as video output? Mplayer and Gnomemplayer can use it and the video playback uses as little as 2-4 % CPU power even on 1080p movies. Xorg and Kwin continue to use pretty much CPU power in video playback process , I suppose there is no way to limit them or there is ?
Open Suse 11.4 86x64, KDE4-4.5.6, NVidia 275.xxx.xxx
Is it possible to make video output (to monitor) black and white? Without changing the monitor settings, of course.

I'm running Karmic Koala 64 bit on my Lenovo T400 laptop with switchable graphics having both Intel and ATI video cards. I've set my bios to use the intel card only and turned the automatic switching off. So far so good, but I'd like to turn on compiz for basic window animations. When I try to start compiz by selecting
Code:
"Appearance Preferences" -> "Visual Effects" -> "Normal"
I get an error message saying "Desktop effects cannot be enabled"
Code:
"System" -> "Administration" -> "Hardware Drivers"
doesn't show any new drivers that could be installed. This was working out of the box when I first installed Karmic Koala a few month ago, but things got messed up when I installed the restricted drivers for my ATI card. Now I can enable compiz if I switch to ATI from my bios settings and install the drivers but I don't want to use it due to high power consumption and I've removed the ATI drivers.
Here is my xorg.conf file:

I have noticed that, using nvidia's latest drivers, HDMi output to my 32" LCD (1920x1080) and totem or vlc, the video on my LCD gets a bit "choppy" when the image changes faster.. some bars start appearing on the moving parts of the image.. like the system is having trouble rendering the video. This doesn't happen on my laptop screen even when both displays are running at the same time.
Also, this problem doesn't appear in windows 7, everything works perfectly there with one odd thing... the picture gets "choppy" on the laptop screen when I'm running both at the same time. It's not that noticeable, but I can tell the difference between windows and ubuntu in quality and it's annoying me
When I try to play a dvd and give mplayer no options, it defaults to "X11" for the video output, which maxes out the cpu. To get around this, firstly I tried to play the dvd using "cvidix" in the console.
I used the following command:
mplayer -ao alsa -vo cvidix -fs -framedrop -stop-xscreensaver -dvd-device /dev/dvd1 dvd://1
This played the dvd, but the console text was still visible over the top of the movie; i.e. mplayer was playing in the layer beneath the console text
Then I tried using xvidix in X:
mplayer -ao alsa -vo xvidix -fs -framedrop -stop-xscreensaver -dvd-device /dev/dvd1 dvd://1
This gives a green line about 5mm thick down the right side of the screen, but other than that it is ok.
I'm trying to produce some screenshots of the screen in which there's a window playing a video in avi format. The problem is whenever I take a shot, the video window appears 'solid blue' in the output image. Is there any way or program with which I can capture the current frame of the video

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 64bit Desktop on my Vostro 1400 and I'm wondering what I have to do to be able to have 3D acceleration under VMWare (ie. be able to enable Aero under a Windows 7 guest).
VMWare has a popup saying "This computer does not have a 3D graphics system supported by VMware Player." How do I check what driver Ubuntu uses for the X3100? What driver would enable 3D?
I cant seem to get the sound working and when I click on perference then sounds and go to the output selection it has only dummy output as a option.
