this option uses the BCI engine for mastered image transfers. It should help performance on savage4 chips, however, it causes problems sometimes. I should probably make it an Xv option rather than a server option so users can turn it on and off more easily. > > My final question is: can I hope to see xvmc support, or has that > turned into a lost cause? If someone steps up to fix the code and get it working. The server side stuff is in xorg cvs. the client lib source is available in the old S3 code drop. I played with it a bit a while back, but couldn't get it to work, however, I don't know much about XvMC or that part of the hardware.
