Comment (by torsten.crass@…):

 Hi there,

 I just realised that two mails I sent in reply to this ticket haven't
 reached this thread... So here's what I wrote on December 13th, 2010:

 thanks a lot for the patch -- no idea when I will find the time to apply
 and test it, though (sick children around, plus the usual pre-christmas
 business). In particular since this would mean to switch my system back to
 "installation from source", rather than from debian multimedia packages,
 which I found to be much more convenient...

 Anyway, thanks again, and I'll let you know the outcome of the test patch
 asap.

 On December 19th I wrote another mail, this time containing actual test
 results from applying Mark's patches:

 Mark,

 hooray, already after applying patch #1 (disable-xvmc-dvd-switching.diff),
 the menus backgrounds are back, and so are the pre- and post-animations!

 However, there is still a problem: Once drawn, menu highlights don't get
 cleared when a menu item gets de-selected -- they even stay when playing
 the actual movie! Do you think this is a related issue, or should I submit
 a new ticket?

 If I understood patch #1 correctly, it would disable XvMC only when
 displaying still-image based DVD menus. This would definitely be the
 preferred solution rather than completely disabling XvMC for DVD playback,
 since the latter would give M10K-based Myth systems a really hard time
 (loads of stuttering during playback).

 So would it be possible to re-open this bug and further discuss this
 issue?

 Regards --

 Torsten
