[NVA8] Xv shows black image on ION chipset
Submitted by Boris Reisig

Description
I have one of the Zotac all-in-one PC's with the Nvidia ION chipset (NOUVEAU(0): Chipset: "NVIDIA NVa8") and it seems the latest xf86-nouveau driver from GIT is broken when trying to use Xv support for video playback. All it shows is a black screen. The GPU is not locked up as I can hear the audio during playback but the video is black. The last working version from git was commit 5ac2ca8c - "works implement and use PUSH_DATAu" and then starts failing at commit b48bcc09 - "nv50/exa: perform texcoord transformations in vertex program" all the way up to the latest git version from today. The Xorg.0.log seems to be fine. (snippet)
