           Summary: Please provide a way to disable bicubic filter for Xv
           Product: xorg
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: fabio.ped at libero.it
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


Bicubic filter on by default for Xv is nice because improve perceived video
quality on full screen videos. However it would be nice to have a way to
disable it for at least the following reasons:
1) it may slowdowns decoding (though i didn't do any testing);
2) although it improves the perceived quality it also causes loss of detail on
the image and many people prefer to disable this type of effects (as many
people disable post-processing filters in their video players);
3) it can overlap with other post-processing filters enabled by video players
(that may be better).

Thanks
