[Openchrome-users] P4M800CE and XvMC

[Aaron Moses]

Hi Chad,

yes I added the change to the drm_pciiss.txt in the viadrv section, and ive
tried playing around with the memory size in the bios (didn't make any
diffrence). I've rerolled the ubuntu xine-lib package so that it is now
configured:

./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man \
                    $(DEB_BUILD_GNU_OPTION) CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" \
                    --enable-xxmc \
                    --with-xv-path=/usr/lib

(yes /usr/lib is where libviaXvMC.so.1.0.0 and libviaXvMCPro.so.1.0.0 are
because I passed openchrome --prefix=/usr when i configured it). And I still
have the problem!

The thing is opengl acceleration now works (well ppracer gives garbled
output, but glxgears works and xine is perfectly happy when run with -V
opengl, so somthing is working.

~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
__driCreateNewScreen_20050727 - succeeded
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2

...
OpenGL vendor string: VIA Technology
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI UniChrome 20050526
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 6.4.1

...
