I have just installed an old Diamon Stealth 64 Video card for a second monitor. I have things working well as a dual head system, but am having difficulty with playback of MPEG and DVD videos on the monitor hooked up to the Diamond card. I get the same problem with Totem and Xine.
The video plays fine on my primary monitor, on a SiS 630/730 onboard controller. But when moving the Totem (or Xine) window to the second monitor, the video area is solid blue.
I configured it through Desktop/System Settings/Display. My xorg.conf is below. I am running FC4, with kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.
Is it just that this card is too old for video playback? Or is there anything I can tweak manually in my configuration that will get playback?
Thanks.

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
