Yours is probably.
But I'm using Xv for xmame too. So if I understand well what you said, if it's ok under mplayer using xv, it should be ok under xmame using xv. Anyway, as I mentioned on the first mail of this thread, the problem is worst with dga and sdl. I see really less artifacts with Xv than with sdl. > > Well, if they are about to make the same mistake as Xfree86 about this > > subject, I shall bug them about that ;-) > X.org X11 is a fork of XFree86.

Anyway, if there's something to be done in order to allow this low level hardware operation under X, I guess it would not be an easy change (correct me if I'm wrong). So I wonder to know wich dev team between Xfree86 and X.org would be more entousiastic with this kind of work. _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
