Also, make sure to add a couple of xorg.conf lines in regards to this as=20 explained in the README. By default, it will try to involve Xv with its GL bits and fail, therefore = not=20 exposing proper Xv acceleration. (xvinfo will report no available adapters) By adding the following two lines, the correct "GL-less" accelerated behavi= or=20 will be restored: (These go in the "Device" section) Option "VideoOverlay" "on" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" On Tuesday 27 December 2005 08:33, Joshua Tinnin wrote: > On Tue 27 Dec 05 00:22, Eric Anholt wrote: > > On Tue, 2005-12-27 at 00:10 -0700, Joshua Tinnin wrote: > > > On Mon 26 Dec 05 22:30, Chris Gilbert wrote: > > > > Sure! > > > > > > > > Below is a support list based on what ATI reports the driver > > > > supports. > > > > > > > > Everything here should work as advertised, but to be sure, if you > > > > have success with a particular card then let me know and I'll > > > > mark the support as confirmed. > > > > > > > > It supports: (Put into a sane order, as opposed to what is on the > > > > ATI site) > > > > > > > > > > > > > Radeon=AE 9600 series > > > > > > I have an ATI Radeon 9600XT, and I'm proud to report it's been > > > working for the last hour with no problems.
