Hi to all,
I have a VIA EPIA EN 12000EG 1.2GHz Fanless C7 Motherboard, but  XvMC doesn't work.

I've compiled the kernel with AGP Support, VIA chipset support, Direct Rendering Manager and Via unichrome video cards enabled as modules.

<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
        <M>   VIA chipset support
        <M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
        <M>   Via unichrome video cards

Then I've installed the openchrome driver with --prefix=/usr to override the old driver and libxvmc.
When I start X,even if the card seems to be correctly detected, and the DRI is enabled, still XvCM dowsn't work.

the modules loaded are:

Module                  Size  Used by
via                    34880  2

via_agp                 7424  1
agpgart                22704  2 drm,via_agp

in /var/log/Xorg.0.log I found the following...

The problem comes at resolutions of 1280x1024, 1024x768 and 800x600.
Kernel version is 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 with xorg-x11 7.1 .

Is there anyone that can tell me where I'm wrong?
Or maybe this hw isn't supported yet?

Many thanks in advance
