Description:
Screen is completely Blue when any Chromium HTML5 video player goes into Fullscreen. This didn't happen with Catalyst 12.9, and I noticed it immediately after the upgrade to 13.1. Given Catalyst's Linux history, it's probably an upstream bug, but thought I would report here first just in case this is Arch specific.


Additional info:
x86_64 - System is fully up-to-date
I'm running Gnome-Shell.
I have two screens, the second is smaller than the other (Wacom Cintiq 12WX) and they're stacked vertically. However, I usually keep the second screen disabled, and enable it with a script when I need to.


Steps to reproduce:
Open Chromium
Navigate to HTML5 video (ex: http://videojs.com/)
Click fullscreen button on Video player
I'm blue da ba dee da ba die (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc)
This task depends upon

A bit of headway. I usually have my second monitor (the smaller Wacom screen) disabled in Xorg.conf, When the screen is enabled the HTML5 video's play fine in full-screen... it's only when the second is disabled that it messes up.

More info - Turns out this is directly related to Gnome-Shell and Multi-monitors (of different sizes?). If I set "$ CLUTTER_VBLANK=none", then restart gnome (Atl-F2 + 'r') all HTML5 videos work in Fullscreen, with both screens enabled, or the smaller disabled. However, If I don't set CLUTTER_VBLANK, then I get the Blue-screen ONLY when the small monitor is disabled.

The same problem also happens with [some?] Steam games (native Steam from AUR, not Wine). Running Half-Life 1 or Counter-Strike 1.6 in Fullscreen when one monitor is disabled and CLUTTER_VBLANK != null will result in a completely Green screen.

Looks like I spoke a bit too soon on that last comment. Blue/Green screens still happen when I fullscreen HTML5 Video or Counter-Strike if my second monitor is disabled. However, I can fix this if I enable my second monitor (Xrandr) and then disable it again (or leave it on). After that, things play in fullscreen just fine.

ps. I'm unsure if the CLUTTER_VBLANK issue still applies. Restarting GnomeShell doesn't seem to be the same as restarting the computer (doesn't restart X?).

Since catalyst-dkms's catalyst-utils dependency was removed from the repo, I guess catalyst-dkms should be removed as well (and this bug report closed).
