I was using 8bpp in my X server. When I bumped it up to 16bpp; I no longer got the message from fxtv. It doesn't appear that I'm using Ximages either - that is, it "looks like" it's a direct write to the video ram... it has a lot more detail than it did before, in any event. You might want to note that in your web-pages..., next time they get updated. - Thanks! - - Dave Rivers - > > > ---- > > > = > > > Amancio - > > = > > > A while back you wrote: > > = > > > > Just go out and get a matrox millenium with 4MB of VRAM or > > > if you can find one an S3 968 with 4MB of VRAM. > > > = > > > > Cheers, > > > Amancio > > = > > > and - guess what - I went out and got a Matrox Millenium II with 4 meg= > > > of RAM. > > = > > > I'm using the SVGA server; but when I start fxtv, I still get: > > = > > > [lakes.dignus.com]$ fxtv > > Direct Video not supported by visual...using XImages > > = > > > So - I thought the MGA driver (in the SVGA X server) would support > > writting directly to Video RAM (i.e. DGA) - it seems to indicate this > > in the HTML docs... = > > > = > > > Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! > > = > > > - Thanks - > > - Dave Rivers - > > = > > > = > > > > >
