I am trying to configure a fedora 1 machine to, among other things, use
hardware decoding for mpegs. We use mplayer on ati and proSavage
chipsets with no problem using -v0 xv flags to tell mplayer to use
xvideo extensions.
I have upgraded all packages to the latest released updates including :
XFree86-4.3.0-55
kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl
current device section in XF86Config after copious surfing:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "via"
VendorName "VIA"
BoardName "via driver supporting cle266"
VIdeoRam 32786
Option "ActiveDevice" "CRT"
Option "PciRetry" "true"
EndSection
xvinfo outputs a bunch of stuff so I assume that it is available
I see the folowing lines in XFree86.0.log:Symbol REGION_EQUAL from
module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol xf86XVCopyYUV12ToPacked from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o is unresolved!
Could this be part of the problem? Does not sound like it but hey, what
do I know? ( not enough - by definition )
mplayer plays using -vo x11 but is slow
mplayer -vo xv crashes X altogether
Any tips? I found a thread about rawhide having updated XFree rpms but
it did not sound like this was fixing anything like this so I have not
tries it
TIA
Bret
