EXA classic problem with Xv

[Yves De Muyter]

Here you find the code:

http://code.google.com/p/gma500/source/browse/trunk/xserver-xorg-video-psb/xserver-xorg-video-psb-0.32.1/src/psb_video.c

The problem is on line 688.

The code tries to find the pointer to the buffer and the offset, and if
it doesnt find it, it calls exaMoveInPixmap().

I don't like the 'while' thing personally but I didn't write that code
and are willing to change it, that's not the problem.

The problem is that exaMoveInPixmap() doesnt do anything if the pixmap
has a score that is 'PINNED', and that's the case here...

Could it be mplayer that is creating the window region the wrong way? I
can imagine alot of drivers don't touch the pixmap and simply overlay
their video...
