I solved one of the problems I had with Psyche, posted under "My Current Annoyances." To recap, this was the problem: > 1. Running xine with the xv video driver will not > work; I have to use xshm. On my previous install, all > was fine with xshm, but now, the picture isn't > particularly clear (rather jagged, for lack of a > better description). The difference is the version of > xine (before it was 0.9.13, now it's 0.9.18, I think). > Any way to get it to work with xv, or to make it look > better with xshm? What I didn't mention that the video on my IBM ThinkPad T23 is a S3 SuperSavage IXc. (X detects it as a Savage4.) To fix the problem, I found an updated driver module at the following website: http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html Then, I set the display color depth to 16bpp (it was 24bpp). I restared the X server, ran xine, and it worked! To my delight, I also found that the picture quality is better, and that the video is not jerky when watching full screen. Hallelujah!
