The issue seems to be that the ATI drivers (OSS and proprietary) seem to
have issues with most video output interfaces on Hardy.

I use the proprietary driver and have tried xv, x11, opengl, sdl and fb,
none of these work.  Now, we can just say that we'll have to wait for
ATI/AMD to fix them but it seems to me that libxine/xine-lib should be
selecting xshm as the default when "auto" is selected.  It's the only
interface that seems to work.

xine-lib already has some smarts to determine the best video output
driver/interface to use because not all of them work on all setups.  I
assume that this would simply be another rule.  Happy to be corrected.


** Changed in: xine-lib
      Product: Me TV => xine-lib

Status in xine-lib - the Xine Video/Media Player Library: New

Bug description:
If I choose Auto as Video driver my video output is greenish and flaky and eats up all my cpu.

If I choose xshm as video driver I get the perfect picture and the cpu isn't drained, everything is working as it should.

I'm running Hardy Heron using the ati oss driver and Me TV version 0.5.30
