[Bug 76866] No way to get working video with Intel card & AIGLX desktop

[Sebastian Breier]

Public bug reported:

When watching videos on an AIGLX desktop using an Intel onboard graphics card
(most laptops), most desktop effects (both compiz & beryl) don't interact
correctly with the video; Shadows have black borders, cube rotation moves the
window but not the video content, wobble doesn't look good etc. This is
probably because of the rendering backend of gst which doesn't support a method
compatible with AIGLX/Intel.

This doesn't happen on NVidia. No idea about ATI.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a video using a gstreamer-using player
2. move the window (wobble), move a window over the video (shadow) or rotate
the desktop cube


Actual results:
Effects look bad or make the video look bad.

Expected results:
It should look like in other players who have another rendering backend.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
See Screenshots.
