Bug Description

System : karmic RC
Vidéo : Intel 845G with KMS

When I lauch gstreamer-properties and chose Plugin X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv) in the video tab. It show an error corresponding to this in the terminal :
gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv)': Could not initialise Xv output [xvimagesink.c(1414): gst_xvimagesink_get_xv_support (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstXvImageSink:xvimagesink3:
No port available]

VLC output set to "extension XVideo" works fine.

[lspci]

Disabling KMS by adding nomodeset to the kernel parameters workaround
the issue. KMS also randomly prevented the system to boot but that's an
other issue.

Hi fabien-id,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` and `dmesg`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you're using a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
