Asked by jehaz

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.

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.
