VLC flickers, when moving touchpad or fullscreen showing a google logo

This appears to be a graphics driver issue i would image, but when a video plays in VLC, moving it to full screen, and moving the touchpad, i see the google logo. Its a brief flicker but is definately there.

Strange as the PC is offline!

Graphics hardware, please.


I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Is the PC always offline, or do you happen to still have a browser window with a Google logo in it open? If yes, the described effect happens with certain graphic hardwares when two applications use OpenGL at the same time. Is VLC configured to use an OpenGL graphics output? Does the effect also happen if you're using the Xvideo backend (please switch back to OpenGL after checking)?

(The settings may be hidden in VLC's "advanced" settings mode.)

ohnonot, you were completely right. Its was VLC, i did the update then upgrade. VLC has bigger icons, does not flicker with the google logo, which was Chrome running in the background. It seem the level of the interface that google write themselves intercepts on the old VLC, however the upgrade changed that.

The old LVC had a bug where the mouse icon would disapeear over the video, when in full screen and normal window. Fixing that required reset VLC to default settings. However the new VLC has corrected that issue too.

A recent VLC update for Stretch?  I can't find any since the first 3.0.2 version that replaced the 2.8.X version:  http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/c … _changelog

Is it possible to backport the latest bugfix updates for vlc (e.g 3.0.3 update that is currently in Sid)?
