Hi,

I have a TP600 too with Debian unstable/testing.

The "Blue Screen" is the result of the XV extension running out of video 
memory.  If you run in 1024x768 and 16bpp, 1024*768*2 = 1.5 MB bytes of 
video memory will be consumed just to display the screen.  XV uses the 
rest of the video memory to display the "video".  Thus at 1024x768x16 
with 2 MB of video memory you can't even display a 640x480 movie at 
16bpp in a window (600 KB).

1.5 MB + 600 KB > 2 MB

I haven't tried this, but at 800x600x16 you should be able to watch a 
movie utilizing the full "display" since 800 * 600 * 2 * 2 < 2 MB.

I don't know enough about what the future plans for XV are to know if 
they have fixed this "problem".

Cheers,
Johnny
