For those interested, and since it's of importance e.g. for xawtv users looking for hardware scaling:
at least on the 6600 chip, and presumably on all newer ones, Nvidia has dropped the Xvideo overlay support available on earlier chips. The 6800 chip should still be OK though, being an older architecture (NV40 vs. NV41 for the 6600). See also the discussions here http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=665114 http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=54336 http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=43619 That is, users looking for video hardware scaling (or so called YUV acceleration) won't find them on those chips. This can be recognized e.g. by the ports xvinfo lists. On my Ti4600 they were Xvideo: video4linux: input video, ports 139-139 Xvideo: NV17 Video Overlay: input image, ports 140-140 Xvideo: NV17 Video Texture: input image, ports 141-141 Xvideo: NV05 Video Blitter: input image, ports 142-173 Xvideo: NVIDIA Video Interface Port: input video, ports 174-174 and on the 6600GT the only left are Xvideo: video4linux: input video, ports 270-270 Xvideo: NV17 Video Texture: input image, ports 271-271 Xvideo: NV05 Video Blitter: input image, ports 272-303 Especially, the video overlay port is missing. Also, the following line is now missing in XFree86.0.log: (II) NVIDIA(0): v4l[/dev/video0]: using hw video scaling [YUY2] Consequently, users e.g. looking for xawtv to run in Xvideo mode without black borders should avoid at least the 6600 chip resp. corresponding cards.
