[ltp] Firegl T2, fglrx, xorg and glx: no XVideo

[Fionn Behrens]

Hi all,

I have postponed this issue several times but since the time it appeared
I upgraded fglrx for the third time or so and it still does not work:

I have a T42p with the T2 graphics adapter and everything (including
Suspend to RAM and GLX 3D) works just great - except the XVideo
extension. The libraries are in place and Xorg.0.log says:

...
(II) Loading extension XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation
...

so you would presume everything is set - but when I start an xterm and
type "xvinfo", then I get:

X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
 no adaptors present

Consequently I have to run all video players in x11, GL or SDL modes
which need several times more power than XV.

I have been searching the web for a solution already and most pages I
found suggest you should have the following lines in your xorg.conf:

# === Video Overlay for the Xv extension ===
        Option      "VideoOverlay" "on"
# === OpenGL Overlay ===
        Option      "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

I already had these in my config, however, and it obviously did not do
the trick! So, maybe someone else here has or had the same problem and
if you have a suggestion, please go ahead and send a reply!

thanks in advance,
