tvtime + Compiz fusion -> black screen

[huepfend_schof]

Hello,
When I activate the 3D-effects in my Ubuntu Hardy, then my video windows are getting black. In VLC and the other players I resolved the problem by setting the video output device to x11.
In tvtime I don't know how I can resolve the problem. If I set tvtime to fullscreen, I can see at the beginning everything, but after some time, the screen becomes black, even in full screen mode. This is very annoying.
Does anybody knows how I can solve this (I don't want to turn the 3D effects off!)

PS: I have an ATI graphics card and the fglrx driver.

Hi there,

I am experiencing the same problem:

Hardy Heron
tvtime
compiz fusion
ATI Radeon 9600

From time to time, when I start tvtime in fullscreen mode, the tv-video is visible. but never in non-fullscreen mode. Is there a way to tell tvtime which DISPLAY it should use?

If I run compiz with indirect rendering it works now almost all the time. But after I watch TV a long time, sometimes the screen still becomes black. Then I restart compiz with:
alt-F2 -> "compiz --indirect-rendering"
and then it works for some hours.

To start compiz with indirect rendering at startup I changed the /usr/bin/compiz file:

sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz

right at the very bottom it says:
${COMPIZ_BIN_PATH}${COMPIZ_NAME} $COMPIZ_OPTIONS "$@" $COMPIZ_PLUGINS || exec $FALLBACKWM $FALLBACKWM_OPTIONS

Which I replaced by:
${COMPIZ_BIN_PATH}${COMPIZ_NAME} $COMPIZ_OPTIONS --indirect-rendering "$@" $COMPIZ_PLUGINS || exec $FALLBACKWM $FALLBACKWM_OPTIONS



But this is not the ideal solution. Does anybody has an idea what I could try?
