I built an X server from CVS and changed the watermark values to match what was listed in the PRM. No change. I see the green crap at 24bpp and at 16bpp, and even when I use Ctrl-Alt-+/- to go down to 640x480 it's there (and it gets bigger) :) I don't think it's related to the watermark value. It really doesn't look like it's anything my software could do. If I use SDL's software Y'CbCr conversion I don't see any crap, for example. Messed up. BTW, I've found for overlay surfaces that I must have the DRI module loaded, so, for reference, I'm currently running kernel 2.4.5. -- Billy Biggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
