[Solved]Intel 855gm Video playback screen is black sometimes

[fxjr]

Edit: Solved!! I got help in irc channel talking about gstreamer-properties and I changed the video output from automatic to no xv. I think that the settings in automatic were the cause for sometimes it works and others doesn't. Thanks crdlb, Jupiter1tx and others who helped me to track down this problem!!

Hi all!

I'm using compiz-fusion from trevino's repository and it works great! Thanks for such a wonderfull software!

However, sometimes, when I play a video with totem, I get a black screen instead of video. When I move the window a little bit the video shows up, but any other interaction with it makes it disappear again. Also, video previews only show a black window. :(

Do you know why?? The strange part is that sometimes it works perfectly where I can see the video being played in expo plugin as well as window preview. So, I think it may be some configuration?

Thanks in advance.

I'm using an intel 855gm onboard, compiz-fusion from trevino repository and 16-bits color depth.

Also, any advices to get better performance is welcome.
