[Xpert]Trident CyberBlade driver
Hi all, First of all, many thanks to Alan for providing us with an accelerated driver for the Trident XP cards. It's great to have it. There are a couple of issues that remain with this driver on the CyberBladeXPAi1 card, AKA Cyber-Aladdin-T from ALi (1644 northbridge) 1) Screen position : On the laptop LCD, the screen is shifted 5 pixels to the right. In other words, there is a 5 black pixels area on the left of the screen and 5 pixels are missing on the right side. In 24bpp, there are some artifacts left on the screen when moving windows (opaque move). This doesn't show in 16bpp. 2) XVideo problems : There is a line, all screen wide, appearing on top of the XVideo window. This show both in full screen and window playback. In window playback, the line moves along with the top of the window. More annoying, when using Xine as the video player, when returning from full screen playback, the whole coputer crashes and the LCD turns slowly to white, reminding me of a polarization problem (I guess this is somehow dangerous for the LCD). As far as I can tell, this doesn't show with MPlayer. However, I've been using Xine with other XFree drivers (NVidia) and got no problem. Note all these problems aren't new to the accel driver, they showed even with the previous non accelerated driver.

Now I have returned my test system to Toshiba. On the other hand I didn't se any problems any more when I tested the most recent version of the code. 1) Screen position : On the laptop LCD, the screen is shifted 5 pixels to the right. In other words, there is a 5 black pixels area on the left of the screen and 5 pixels are missing on the right side. This one may be hard to fix without a system to test with. In 24bpp, there are some artifacts left on the screen when moving windows (opaque move). This doesn't show in 16bpp. Can you send a screenshot of an area where you see these artefacts? 2) XVideo problems : There is a line, all screen wide, appearing on top of the XVideo window. This show both in full screen and window playback. In window playback, the line moves along with the top of the window. Again it would be intereseting if this line is visible in a screenshot. More annoying, when using Xine as the video player, when returning from full screen playback, the whole coputer crashes and the LCD turns slowly to white, reminding me of a polarization problem (I guess this is somehow dangerous for the LCD). As far as I can tell, this doesn't show with MPlayer. However, I've been using Xine with other XFree drivers (NVidia) and got no problem. It is possible that Xine uses DGA for fill screen video. Otherwise I don't understand why this can happen. Can you check if this is true? Egbert. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
