If it reports something like Intel Video Overlay you can just tell mplayer to use the second adaptor (Video Overlay) and all your problems are gone. (You can either tell mplayer or tell xorg.conf to prefer Video Overlay) If you have only Textured Overlay then you're traped. You will have the same bug as I do: No Video Overlay for some reason. cheers Daniel </blockquote></div> Adaptor #0: "Intel(R) Textured Video" I don't think the G45/X4500HD has any overlay support at all. It only has Textured Video, which is the problem I think. Can we get an intel driver dev to give some insight? Side note: I can use mplayer -vo gl2 to render 1080i content without tearing, BUT mythtv can't use mplayer to play recordings (only videos). And like I stated before the mythtv opengl renderer gives green monochrome output for all content :/ Not sure why it doesn't replicate what mplayer -vo gl2 does.
