Even my old 800Mhz Pentium with AGP-Radeon shows that indeed every 40000usecs +-35usecs a frame comes to Xserver's PutImage(). It's by far not neccessary for the patches to work to get frames that accurately but it shows what is possible even on old and slow hardware. On Gavin's machine with PCI DMA problems we instead timed 40000usecs +-21000usecs a frame comes to the Xserver's PutImage(). That is way too unstable. I think xine itself also can't cope with that. At least it will show heavy jerkyness. Nonetheless I today released a new version of the patches with 100% lesser sensivity to timing problems (see announcement of today).
