Bug Description

on feisty (with fglrx video driver) playing videos worked all right using mplayer, gmplayer, vlc and totem-xine.

on gutsy (using fglrx once again) i get the following results:

totem-xine: dies right away, see someone else's bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/+bug/130696
vlc: unusable, lags a lot
mplayer: unusable, lags a lot
gmplayer: "works", but scaling the video (also true for fullscreen) does not

mplayer/gmplayer: setting video output mode to GL fixes the problem
vlc: setting video output mode to GL fixes the problem. enabling deinterlacing fixes the problem, too.
totem: still crashing

Same here, except that mplayer in GL mode is still unusable when put into fullscreen mode.

To transition your bug into the new fglrx-package, we need your help. Please do the following:

 a. Verify the bug occurs in Intrepid.
     (Intrepid ISOs: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com)
 b. If you haven't already, please include in the bug:
     * Your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
     * The output of `lspci -vvnn`
     * Steps to reproduce the issue

 d. Set 'Source Package Name' to 'fglrx-installer'
 e. Click Continue

Thank you. This will assist us in reviewing and upstreaming your fglrx bug, as appropriate.

[We'll expire the fglrx bugs in l-r-m-* in a month or so.]
