Randomly, when trying to play a file, the display (window, or fullscreen) is a uniform light green color with some streaking/smearing, but no moving video at all. Sound is running, and CPU load looks correct for playing - that is, high.

I get this issue using any output device - sdl, x11, xv, etc. It's almost as if the player is looking at the wrong block of video memory - but that's a guess.

IIRC there is a known issue with the Trident Cyberblade.

 From the Xine FAQ:

Trident card: If you see vertical bands jumbled, upgrade to the latest 
xfree/experimental trident drivers (for the CyberBlade XP a driver 
exists here: http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ 
<http://www.xfree86.org/%7Ealanh/>)
