[Openchrome-users] mplayer and P4M900 and xvmc

[J. Dale Gonzalez]

Hey folks,

After successfully getting openchrome running and theoretically
getting DRM and agp running, I'm trying to patch mplayer.  I've tried
using the diff files against the current mplayer trunk, which
obviously didn't work.  I manually made the changes to the necessary
files and recompiled and got something to compile.  When I attempted
to view HD video, I got a message stating that the system couldn't
find a suitable canvas (or something the actual log is attached).
Finally, thinking I had messed up applying the changes,  I grabbed the
rc2 source and the rc2 patch file and tried HD video.  I got the same
message as when I took trunk and hand applied the diff.

So, here's where I am: standard def video plays fine with just the
"-vo xv" both with rc2 and my hand applied changes.  High def video
"tries" to play.  The system keeps up for a little while and then I
start getting warnings, video audio sync issues occur, etc...  With
"-vo xvmc,xv -vc ffmpeg12mc," both the rc2 source and the hand patched
source show a screen filled with green and purple snow.  I attempted
to do a screen grab but all I got was a black rectangle.  I'm assuming
that the direct draw to the graphics card is bypassing whatever the OS
uses to do screen grab.  I can take a photo by hand if someone really
needs to see it.

I've attached Xorg.0.log and the output from mplayer SD and HD when
running with the "-vo xvmc,xv -vc ffmpeg12mc," switches.

Two questions, first is something busted with either my openchrome
install, DRM patch or agp patch?  Did I mess something up with
mplayer? Or is the P4M900 just not really supported for XvMC.

Second, does anyone want the diff file I created for the current trunk
of mplayer and the patches spec'd by the rc2 patch file?  I can't
verify that it works with xvmc for the problems noted above but it
does compile and show video without the xvmc flag.
