This behavior is gone in the ati driver currently in XFree86 cvs (XFree86 4.1.99.1). I finally succesfully patched this code with the GATOS sourcecode, so I now have both correct text and accellerated video =]. Using Xvideo I can play MPEGs and divx movies on my beige G3, while divx doesn't work as well in MacOS (image quality may be slightly less in linux, but at least I get a decent framerate). greetings, Christiaan
