[vlc] Re: getting black box with xvideo

[Sigmund Augdal]

Sounds like a problem with your video drivers. Can you send the output of
"vlc -vv <yourfile>" and the output of xvinfo?

I also know some radeon cards don't support overlay on the tv-out (or only
on the primary head witch can be changed from tv-out to display and visa
versa). Perhaps this is the problem.
