	Hi all,
I have a laptop with a 852GM which used to work great with trunk until  
the end of july; well it had a few rough edges when using xrandr too  
much for tooglin between LVDS and VGA but it was OK.
Now since a big update in August viewing a video full screen using Xv  
crashes the server (well xine crashes it right away and mplayer shows  
the video correctly but crashes when exiting), whereas everything was  
fine before (I did not update xine and mplayer in the meantime).
So I decided to bisect the driver, but it does not compile as the other  
modules are too recent. So question is : how to bisect correctly?
Thanks,
Emmanuel

PS: I attach the logs just in case you can already do something with  
them
