I've seen the tearing myself on my Trident Cyber9525, but for me, it seemed to occur with even the Windows drivers, which I assume would take advantage of all the features of the chip. There's supposed to be anti-tearing features in the chip, and I suspect that's why it forced me to drop to 800x600x8 to play (the anti-tear features required two copies of the overlay to be stored in video RAM, plus the memory overhead for the built-in motion compensation. The 2.5M of video RAM couldn't have lasted long), but the tearing persisted even when I did allow the pre-bundled DVD player do it. The Ai1 might be different, and might be fixable, though. I don't know. It seems impractical to even try to fix it on some of the lower end devices (I really don't want to have to go down to 800x600x8 to play a DVD like Windows forced me to do). _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
