Video players and AMD video drivers
I use Ubuntu 10.04
When I start playing video files in VLC or mplayer I see black screen like a OpenGL full-screen applications (full-screen games). After that VLC (mplayer) playing video file in window mode.
I have AMD HD5570 video card. Use driver from repository and from AMD. No different – I have a problem. When I do not install drivers from AMD (binary or from repository) – VLC (mplayer) playing video without black screen.
Sorry for my English.

I tried this version of VLC. Result is zero - black screen. But the problem is present in mplayer...
Ok do you have:
ubuntu-
installed?

This package is not installed.
Then install it and it should work fine

After installation the problem persist. I think the guilty driver ati, because if I set vlc vout=sdl the screen does not darken before playing.
