I used the Mach64 Xv merged drivers from 4.3.99.7 (and I believe the code
hasn't changed since). xvinfo reported that xvideo worked, but on attempting
to watch a video it broke, then xvinfo stopped reporting that xvideo was
supported.
Interesting. I'm not sure if the person who merged it has teste

turn says that tvout is not available due to refuse of ATI to give any

BTW I saw information on Gat

tvout/screen+twinview configuration support by driver is pretty cool - I
haven't seen other drivers with such a full set of options) or
alternatively we use framebuffer+nvtv program, but also

Can anybody tell me what's the status of tvout support in XFree86 drivers?
As far as I understand it's only available for several graphic cards and
only from their manufacturer close-source drivers. From gatos project I

anything
