Bug Description

I tested compiz with AIGLX, using knot2 as a liveCD. My desktop is still running dapper.
It works very well on my Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE], but Xv video is not working very well.

if i run a video, eg the experience ubuntu.ogg from the CD, the totem window is black. i move the window, the video appears. also going full screen it is not displayed well sometimes, but try a couple of times and it works.
if i change gstreamer-properties to use XShm instead of Xv it works fine. But Xv should work too.

i run compiz with
 compiz --indirect-rendering --strict-binding --replace gconf

then gnome-window-decorator.

OK, I updated my dapper to edgy and it works now. It didn't work on the edgy liveCD. maybe the liveCD was connected to that.
now Xv works, though it stops working if any other window overlays the video and going to full screen leaves part of the video gray sometimes. but it mostly works so i'll cancel this bug.
