So mplayer -vo cvidix -nocolorkey without previous running mplayer -vo xv
gives no image
mplayer -vo cvidix -nocolorkey after running mplayer -vo xv should give
garbled image?
Please always use -nocolorkey -vf scale=640:480 with the vidix drivers for
your test
to avoid problems caused by bad alignment and bad colorkey.
Did you get this garbled image without applying the patch or was there no
image at all
with the same tests?
