[gentoo-ppc-dev] xfree-4.2.1-r2, r128 and xv

[Magnus Damm]

Hi,

I'm using gentoo on a G4 Cube. Most things are working fine now except
that the xv support seems broken. And that's a shame, because I want to
watch DVD:s + divx and use emulators without chopping video.

The symptom is that mplayer plays smooth, but only the half left part of
the movie is showing, stretched (2x width) to fit the window. 

These driver options are used in XF86Config:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver "r128"
    Option "UseFBDev"
    Option "ForcePCIMode"
    Option "Display" "CRT"
EndSection

I use 1600x1200 in 16bpp and I've only been able to change to 1280x1024 because
of my crappy Apple monitor. Resolution doesn't seem to matter.
Bits per pixel, well I don't know. I have not been able to start X in 32bpp.
And yes, I use aty128fb as framebuffer, ppc-sources-2.4.19-r6.

I saw there were some r128-related patches applied to xfree-4.2.1-r2.
I looked through them but they don't seem to change any xv-code.

Does someone use xfree-4.2.1-r2 with r128 on a powerpc system?
Is xv ok for you? What resolutions / bits per pixel?

thanks for your help.
