[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 670790] Re: Xv / XVideo accelerated video width is limited by / depending on the screen resolution on S3 Savage, but only if the laptop LCD is the primary screen

2011-07-29 Thread Hans-Juergen Mauser
Hello Tormod, while looking at the code again, I start getting some evidence that the "+7" offset addition really is related to panels with a horizontal hardware resolution of 1400 pixels. I ran doxygen over some old versions of the savage driver to dig into the history and possible changes to

Hello Tormod, thanks for your comments and tests! Are you more deeply involved into the calculation methods for these savage drivers? In fact, on my system I had to remove the 7-pixel offset to get the screen full in width. I'm sorry, at the moment I don't have a lot of time for doing an officia

Hello Mike, thanks, this driver works perfectly and I could upgrade all X components back to the latest maverick versions. I will try to load the sources and add the video display patch I created for the older lucid version. Thanks and best regards! -- You received this bug notification because

Hello, now I resolved the problem myself on source code level. The relevant parts are two sections in savage_video.c and savage_streams.c, where scaling factors explicitly for LCD usage are calculated. The problem was mainly that only the drawing starting point was modified by the scaling factor,

Thanks for your attention, but as I need the machines for some kind of production work, I cannot revert them to the buggy state currently, as I had to fix and modify a lot: mainline kernel, xservers from lucid, and a self-compiled savage xserver from the lucid sources as I had to do a bugfix in the

Hello, for me it worked to downgrade all X servers to the latest lucid 10.04 version. This stopped the strange X crashes due to switching to text consoles or blank screen / DPMS (in my case with an S3 savage card). -- The computer logged me out without my permission. https://bugs.launchpad.net/b

I am experiencing a similar issue which I reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/660301 It also appears as "unwanted log-out" as soon as the DPMS screensaver or standby mode blanks the screen. After moving the mouse/ hitting the keyboard, the screen reappears and a previous session
