Branden said it looked OK on IRC, so I went ahead with the patching. If you read the project's mailing lists, you'll see lots of comments about the 1.1 license, for example: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7730841 and this thread: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7599303 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7599305 Also, all source files have only the "MIT license" header -- if that means anything . -- Martijn van de Streek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Newer VIA driver for xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1
Hi, I've created a patch to upgrade the VIA/Unichrome driver in the current XFree86 in unstable to the R20 version from http://unichrome. sourceforge.net/, and I've patched in their released XvMC patch. The only thing that's missing seems to be the dri part of the driver, xc/lib/GL/mesa/src/via, from dri CVS. I've built, installed and tested this driver and haven't found any obvious (to me) bugs. All code seems to be under an MIT license, so it should be safe to add this. It does this to the MANIFEST: --- debian/MANIFEST.i3862004-06-11 09:41:55.0 +0200 +++ debian/MANIFEST.i386.new2004-06-12 17:47:57.0 +0200 @@ -933,0 +934 @@ +usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/viaXvMC.h @@ -6002,0 +6004,2 @@ +usr/X11R6/lib/libviaXvMC.a +usr/X11R6/lib/libviaXvMC_pic.a MANIFEST check failed; please see debian/README The patch is on http://foodfight.org/patch/000_stolen_from_HEAD_via_driver.diff.gz (195KiB, 1.3MiB gunzipped) -- Martijn van de Streek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Welcome to CVS HEAD. :) The siliconmotion driver has been lacking XVideo support since the first 4.2.* prerelease debs, while the xpert list only talks of 'getting rid of the wait for retrace' (http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-April/016661.html) in 4.2. http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-April/016573.html als talks about the problem a bit. There's also a bug in the siliconmotion driver in "current" XFree86 4.2.1-pre debs: sometimes when the X server exits/gets killed/switches back to text mode I get a screen full of garbage and a hanging machine.

I had this problem once when I lied to the X server about the amount of memory on the video card. Try a lower bits-per-pixel value, or tell the server real amount of memory and see if it still happens.
