Re: Radeon 7500 XFree86 support.
* csj [EMAIL PROTECTED] [011205 08:08]: ... I just bought a Radeon VE (64MB SDR). Xv works out of the box, except for one slightly annoying thing. The Xv output can't be suspended properly. When I try to suspend or minimize the player program (xine, smpeg-plaympeg), I get a freeze frame of the video output. If the video occupies the whole screen, this prevents me from doing anything useful in that screen (I can however do the CTRL-ALT thingy to toggle to another X-window screen). The hackish solution is to run the video in a window, which I can then move aside until only a smallish part of it is visible. I've got that too. Any Hints from anyone?

Hi, sorry for the delay: * csj [EMAIL PROTECTED] [011127 11:48]: ... Does this mean you've got XVideo (Xv) going on your Radeon VE?

* Ax [EMAIL PROTECTED] [011130 13:08]: Dne so 24. listopad 2001 10:37 Karsten Heymann napsal(a): I don't have a Radeon card (yet) but I was just looking up info about it on the XFree lists and it appears that support for it is only in the XFree CVS right now. It should be included in the next official release. I think you have to use the generic SVGA support if you have a current XFree release. That's strange, mine is working perfectly with the XFree4 from actual sid (a Radeon VE) under 2.4.9. I'm even running opengl, glxinfo prints out alot and glxgears gives ~100 fps (Athlon 1000). Is that accelerated? No ;( glxgears gives me more than 800 fps with Radeon GE and Athlon 1200 Sorry, i mixed up the numbers. I get 600 fps with an Athlon 1000 - that seems quite accelerated to me :-) Thanks for your stats, Karsten -- Karsten Heymann [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] CAU-University Kiel, Germany

Next test will be to run it with Kernel 2.2.20 to get that damned vmware express to work. Another pointer may be the ati module from the gatos project (www.linuxvideo.org).
