 I understand that for Xv, XVmc to work, DRI must be enabled.

Xv shouldn't require DRI. You can check if the extension is available with 
xvinfo. Either way, it should definitely not freeze the X server - I suspect 
the unichrome driver's Xv support is just plain broken in the release shipped 
with your X server. You might want to check Xorg's bugzilla on the issue.

DRM kernel module for unichrome ?

2006-03-20 Thread bruno schwander
Hi everybody,

I am trying to get DRI to work on a VIA C3 motherboard.
Background: running mplayer freezes X. (just X, I can ssh and reboot the
box)
Running mplayer -vo x11  (instead of the default that uses Xv extension)
works, but uses much CPU.
I understand that for Xv, XVmc to work, DRI must be enabled. However,
although the port graphics/dri includes a unichrome_dri.so, I do not see
the corresponding drm kernel module in /boot/loader. (I would assume it
would be unichrome.ko)

The question is then, is anybody working on this module ? How hard is it
to port the linux one over to FreeBSD ? Who owns the current drm
kernel modules and how can I assist in porting the unichrome drm module ?
