VLC Pink Green Lines Problem

Hey all,

I really like using VLC because it's an all-in-one player that will take pretty much anything you throw at it, but I've been having this problem for some while now that I can't seem to fix.

I can play most videos just fine in windowed mode but as soon as I try to full screen it VLC goes berserk and my screen will go blank and flash green/pink lines will appear. Eventually VLC will go back to windowed mode and this appears:

When I try to play video again in windowed mode, I can hear the audio but all I see are the pink/green lines.

I tried changing the output module to OpenGL like I've read on some forums but then VLC just closes as soon as I play a video file.

Anyone have a solution?

Does VLC have any other output modes you can try?

if you're using compiz / beryl- disable it, then restart vlc
