[Cooker] XFree and Trident

2002-02-22 Thread Vincent Meyer, MD 

Fresh install last night.  XFree Trident driver is still braindead.  Trident 
driver from XFree86.1.0 is a drop-in replacement which DOES work, except 
for the Xv extensions.   PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - at least add the driver
to the disto as trident_drv2 or something so it can be installed.  

I do not know if this applies ONLY to Gateway Solo 9100 machines with
the dvd player (Trident 9397DVD chip, c-cube hardware decoder).  I
am NOT the only one on the Xfree devel list who has seen this.  Fix
won't be ready in time for 8.2 final (I haven't had time to compile and 
test things for them, and they don't have a Trident based machine)

Thanks

V.

Bug flepied with it. 

Or you could build X from cvs and see how that works out (linux from
scratch has a guild on it)

[Cooker] XFree and Trident - still seriously broken

2002-02-09 Thread Vincent Meyer, MD 

Hello,

Until the XFree prople fix it (I think they're working on it)  can we 
please PLEASE PLEASE go back to the 4.1.0 trident driver?  (trident_drv.o)
It is seriously broken.  The weird textures and rainbow colors are kinda cool 
for all of about two minutes, then the fact that you can't see anything gets 
pretty old.

ALSO - in reloading a clean cooker this morning, I forgot to save the
damn trident_drv.o that worked!  could someone e-mail me this if they are 
using it?
