the last two versions of XFree86 with gatos CVS and find the drivers,
at least for my Mach 64 system, extremely stable and functionable. My
question is whether this patch is going to be updated before 9.1
final. I will understand if it's felt that they would break other

I would also like an answer.
Even if it is not the default, I would really appreciate to be able to 
watch movies with a Mandrake install without having to built it :/


Just tested getting the binaries from gatos website and putting them in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers. And now I have a working Xv. Does the 
XFree version have anything more than this one that would make it more 
interesting for some users to not put this in ?



I have a success, too. In fact I only use these, I use Xv a lot.

Just a warning though - be sure to recompile drm modules for kernel, 
too. The stock Cooker ones froze my machine.
