 Hi Everyone,

 I've just bought a VIA EPIA-5000 motherboard, which has an integrated
 Trident Blade 3D.

 I've been playing around with the Xv extension recently, most notably to
 add support for it to the XMAME arcade machine emulator - for this purpose
 RGB overlays are more suited than YUV.

 The integrated Blade 3D, according to xvinfo, supports RV15 and RV16, which
 are supposedly 15- and 16-bit RGB - however, my tests suggest that these
 formats are not RGB - they're not YUV either, in fact they seem to be a
 bizarre mixture of the two, with the so-called green channel adjusting
 grey, and the other two interacting weirdly with it.

 Anyway, does anyone have any hardware information for this chipset, so I
 can have a go at fixing the problem?

 All the best,
