That doesn't make sense, the chip just decodes video, it isn't a GPU. So you still have to transfer the resulting frame to the GPU. Besides xvideo doesn't do any decoding so you gain nothing by letting a chip does colorspace conversation and scaling when you can do the same on the GPU using xvideo. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
