Arclight most certainly does have its own OSD. It doesn't sound like
you're running the .24 version of Arclight at all. It includes a
complete, original OSD that will fill the screen.

See above, it's extremely doubtful if you are on .24 that you are
seeing BlackCurves, since that OSD is not compatible/usable with .24.

I suspect if you solve whatever your issue above is, this will handle itself.

Thanks for a quick reply... I frigging knew it was something so simple. The
problem was that Lucid repos contains a 0.23 Arclight. Now downloaded a new
one from Natty repo, which is 0.24. Works fine now.

Though, the filelist does not show the osd.xml, it is there.. (

Thanks.

It's not. Usually this shows up when using the VDPAU slim profile,
but since you say you are using Xv, it may also be a limitation when
using softblend.

Just for added info, here's the logs from the frondend, though on normal

Worked before doesn't necessarily mean anything in .24's OSD. It has
been completely, 100% rewritten, along with much of the video player.
Just because fading worked on Xv before does not necessarily mean that
it will now. There were performance and technical reasons for lots of
changes, particularly as relates to the way threading works in the
player.

Yes, please move your question to the users list. I would guess (I
cannot ask the OSD dev since he is not awake at this hour) that Xv
will no longer support fade as of .24.
