According to ATI it can: " Delivering a complete solution, RAGE MOBILITY includes dual LVDS transmitters, hardware MPEG-2 decoding with iDCT..." <http://www.ati.com/products/mobility/features.html> Are there other RAGE MOBILITY cards in the 1gen clamshell iBook? If so, why can't I find any info on earlier incarnations anywhere? That Apple doesn't support this decoding feature with the X DVD player is clear, but does the OS actually prevent other apps from using it? Can it perhaps be turned on somewhere? Does there have to be a VDplayer in the machine in order for the hardware (graphics card) MPEG-2 decoding to become activated? I posted the same ATI sourced data and the same questions before and noone seemed to know or care. These are the type of questions that needs to be answered IMHO. >The gen 2 clamshells have the ATI RAGE Mobility 128, same as >Pismo, and so _should_ support ADP under X. Anyone care to confirm this >hypothesis? I can do that, but only with S-VCD as there is no dvdplayer. Or I could use an image perhaps. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
