hi, i recently installed a gentoo-disto on a pentiumII-system, since it has a ati 3D Rage Pro i played a bit around with gatos-drivers to get Xv. it seems to work somehow, but i encounterd some problems.
1. after a while i get some flickering on my monitor. It increases and half an hour later or after i start emacs and edit a large file the screen gets totally corrupted. i can switch back to the console, but restart of x doesn't help, only reboot. 2. Xv seems to work for a short time while playing vids with mplayer, but after some minutes the overlay-window gets black (or pink?) and Xv doesn't works anymore. has somebody encounterd similar problems? is there a workaround for this? it seems to me like a mem-problem, mem-leak somewhere? but i currently don't know how to track down memory consumption of X or specially of the vid-mem, can somebody give me an advice on this? Further im looking for docs about the modules in libextmod, as i don't need f.e. screensaver stuff i want to exclude it from the list, but i also want to know what the other (sub)modules are good for. f.e. MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD? or TOG-CUP? my system: gentoo-r5 libc-2.3.1.so gcc-3.2.2 XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 kernel: linux-2.4.21 all is build from sources with CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium2 -pipe" XFree.log is attached. best regards / mit freundlichen gr�ssen zsolt ------------------------------------------------ streamminister sch�nhauser alle 155 10435 berlin t: 030 44735425 f: 030 44653872
