Indeed. And the reason the code is there is because Hailstorm can only downscale at fixed ratios (half and one-quarter), and even then, it locked up when we tried. Similarly, the display controller's downscaling didn't work, either. So we can optimise the fallback path, but you'll still be screwed by sending 16bpp (instead of 12bpp) through RFBI. > Fixing this bug is critical for video playback performance.

The only patch is optimising that function, really. Even if we did work out a way to make Hailstorm happy, you can still only scale at those exact multiples, which doesn't make it a viable general solution. Cheers, Daniel
