If this is using the nouveau driver (check lsmod or xorg log), i see that for some reason that it's limited to 4096x4096 for xvideo. See this line: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/tree/src/nouveau_xv.c#n2031 And then check the contents of DummyEncodingTex and you'll find it refers to the maximum sizes. The command xvinfo confirms this. NV50 and higher (everything starting geforce 8) are able to do 8192x8192, it should just be a matter of making a NV50 specific DummyEncodingTex structure. -- Far away from the primal instinct, the song seems to fade away, the river get wider between your thoughts and the things we do and say. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
