Dear Experts, Since the performance of the siliconmotion driver in XFree86 4.1.0 is so poor (e.g. for playing videos), I've installed the 4.1.99.5 version (with v1.3.1 siliconmotion driver) from CVS. The new server seems to work fine, except that xvinfo now yields:
X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present while xdpyinfo confirms that the XVideo extension is present. The server log files contains no erros. However, compiling with SMI_DEBUG I found that SMI_SetupVideo() exits prematurely because xf86I2CWriteVec(&(smiPortPtr->I2CDev) (line 896 of smi_video.c) returns 0. This is on a new, but low budget, laptop running redhat 7.2. XVideo works fine (if slow) with redhat's XFree86-4.1.0 server. lspci describes the my card as: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Motion, Inc. SM720 Lynx3DM (rev b1) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Silicon Motion, Inc. SM720 Lynx3DM Flags: 66Mhz, medium devsel, IRQ 9 Memory at f4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1 Capabilities: [50] AGP version 2.0 Thanks for your time, Ivo __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
