Comment 96 for bug 177492

I have similar problem as Alfonso Eusebio wrote on 2008-03-19
Now when I movie video player (VLC) or anything related to compiz, the video player screen goes blue.

This happened a couple days ago.
What is this xv vs x11? Where are these options to change? I don't see it in xorg.conf I have intel 965 x3000

Ok I found the option in VLC media player output section. preferences->video->output modules->make sure advanced setting is enabled.
Using X11 instead of the XV(blue screen), X11 is actually working better than before. I can put video at full screen with no slowdown (same videos as tested before, and these were just crappy youtube videos).
Tested with large movies and other video files and it works near perfect! So something changed over the past few days that reverted video to XV, and changing back to X11 made videos work better than before? Before if I went fullscreen or enlarged video size the video would go all choppy with a couple frames per second. Nice to see this is fixed!
