Let me first give you a big "Thank You" for your work. To the entire XFree86 team in general, and "you know who you are" in particular for this driver enhancement. If the stuff I pay money for had half the level of support....well... Dell CPiA 366 works great with this driver. NM2200, 2.5MB of video memory. (But I think someone once told me that the audio driver steals a bit of memory. Is this true?) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation [MagicMedia 256AV] (rev 20) 01:00.1 Multimedia audio controller: Neomagic Corporation [MagicMedia 256AV Audio] (rev 20) (neo2200) I'd like to know what limitations we have as a result of hardware design and the available video memory. I run my LCD at 1024x768@16bpp. That's 1.5MB. Is all of the remaining 1024 kB available to us? Or is this were the "lines > 1024" statements above comes in? The reason for asking is that 320x240 and 352x288 mpegs works ok, while a 720x576 clip yeilds : X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 141 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 () Serial number of failed request: 1353 Current serial number in output stream: 1353 *Should* I be able to play back that clip? And does this in any way have anything to do with the output from 'xvinfo' saying: maximum XvImage size: 1024 x 1024 ? I'll try Frank's hack and see if that makes a difference. Regarding your worries about FillSolidRect, I figure I could add Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" to XF86Config to avoid "funny behavior"? But that is perhaps going to limit 2D performance severely?
