Linux 64bits game videos black screen [SOLVED]

Post by franzrogar »

Hello,

I've a problem with some game whose videos are not shown up (you just see a black screen) but you can hear their music.

My system' specs are:
Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64
Running through KMS (Kernel Mode Settings)
Running latest Intel drivers
Running latest Ubuntu kernel (2.6.31-9)
Graphic card Intel X3100

Software version:
Official ScummVM 1.0.0rc1 Linux x86_64 build

Notes:
Having Compiz activated or deactivated doesn't affect to this issue.

Games affected by this issue are:
- The Curse of Monkey Island (comi)
- Broken Sword 1 (sword1)

This' not for all games. Broken Sword 2 (sword2) videos are played properly and also The 7th Guest is working as expected.

Is anyone else having this problem?

To rule out the simplest explanation, for how long did you look at the Broken Sword 1 intro? The first ~12 seconds are supposed to be black. I don't know about The Curse of Monkey Island, though. You don't even see the difficulty selection screen?

Oh my, I forgot that...

Well... I've just checked and Curse of Monkey Island and Broken Sword work both of them...

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Both of them have a few seconds with a black screen...

Thank you very much and I'm very very sorry about this!

Thank :-)
