Title:
  S3 driver displays pink banner when viewing HD videos

Status in X.Org X server:
  Confirmed
Status in xserver-xorg-video-savage package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-savage

  It seems that the S3 savage driver for Xorg has a hardcoded limitation regarding its Xv functionality. If a video is wider than 800 pixels wide, then the rest of the screen has a pink color. For example, my 480p video that is 853x480, has 53 pixels rendered as pink color on the right side of the screen, resulting in a vertical pink banner. Same happens no matter what media player I use, as it's an Xv driver bug, not a media player one. Some facts:
  1. It only happens when Xv is used. Other transports work without this bug, but without Xv you don't want to watch HD video anyway because it is too slow without acceleration.
  2. When I grab a screenshot from the framebuffer, the pink banner is not there. It only renders the pink vertical banner in the screen, not in the framebuffer.
  3. DRI driver is loaded, but not working (bug #99251)
