[Bug 277013] [NEW] Dragon Player fails to Show Video When KDE4 Desktop Effects are Enabled

Binary package hint: dragonplayer

What I Expected:
Video plays back the same (working) whether using Desktop Effects or not.

What I'm Getting:
Playing video with desktop effects turned off works fine. Turning desktop effects on though causes video to flicker wide black horizontal bars bars constantly (looks just like the flicker when you see a TV screen on live television from being out of synch).

I get this even if I have "Desktop Effects Enabled" checked, but no
actual desktop effects turned on (in the "All Effects" tab / the three
checkboxes *below* "Desktop Effect Enabled")

This problem also occurs on VLC unless the X11 video output module is
selected (although that drops frame rate to about 10 fps @ fullscreen)


Hardware:
ATI HD4860 (running fglrx 8.9)
Intel CPU
Samsung 216BW LCD monitor

Software:
Dragonplayer 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa1  (2.0.1-0ubuntu2 0)
FGLRX 8.9 (all default in xorg.conf except 'driver "fglrx" ')
KDE 4.1.1 (from PPA packages)
Kubuntu 8.04.1
