Trick to prevent flickering in vlc

[djdoo]

Unless you are using the intel driver from the git development tree, it does happen with the intel drivers. The nvidia drivers are the only ones that handled Xvideo in a composited environment properly from the beginning. Now that this has been fixed in the intel driver, all the open source drivers will hopefully fall in line... And since DRI2 was not required for the fix with the intel driver (it was fixed before DRI2 was merged into the X server), it's probably not required for the radeon driver either.

Yes but our main problem is fglrx not radeon...
The majority of ATi users can practically use only fglrx driver for their cards so a fix for the radeon driver (which is much slower at the moment in 3D performance even if DRI works and even for r300 cards) is not that important unfortunately...

That's your main problem... Not mine, and not "ours".

Yes but you are "not" the majority of ATi Linux users unfortunately...

When I say ours I mean the ones how can only use fglrx.
I believe I was clear enough...
