Hello.

I'm trying to debug an issue I'm having with my Via CN400 board. The problem I 
see is that every time I watch a specific DVD using XvMC the display freezes 
completely after a short time.

The freeze seems to be caused by a failing via_cmdbuf_wait. I don't understand 
why it fails, but it fails with the error message:
*ERROR* via_cmdbuf_wait timed out hw 32700 cur_addr 400 next_addr 87678

And all following calls give the same output. It never recovers.

Any ideas where I should look now? If the buffer isn't emptied as expected, is 
it a hardware problem? There seems to be no error handling in via_cmdbuf_jump 
if via_cmdbuf_wait fails. Is it missing or is this situation so fatal that it 
can't be fixed or is it ok to just move along and ignore the problem?

There's also a pretty huge delay inside via_cmdbuf_wait. In a worst case 
scenario it will sleep 1000000*1ms (1000 seconds). Is that how it should be? 
Seems strange to me.

All hints are appreciated!

/Robert
