[vlc-devel] XV output green screen

[Damien Fouilleul]

Martin,

I remember fixing a similar issue for win32 vouts, basically the green 
flash appears when the vout is open, but has no picture to display yet; 
the buffer is 0 filled initially, which translates as green in YUV 
colorspace. The best fix is to delay filling the vout window with the 
colorkey until the first picture has been rendered, the vout window 
should be filled with 'ordinary' black color till then.

whenever you have it fixed, please post a patch so that we can apply it 
to VLC development tree.
