FYI: The X 4.2 driver is (more or less) identical to the version of 16/1/02 available on my site. Unfortunately, the deadline for committing to the X CVS came exact one day too early - the driver included with 4.2 has a serious bug in the Xv part that makes playing video impossible if (don't ask...) - no external VGA is connected (and switchied on) at boot time. This is fixed in newer versions (after 16/1/02) on my site, and will be fixed in the first update of X 4.2. > Caracteristics of the driver: > DRI support > XV support (for Mplayer yes!!!!!) > Sisfb support and more.... > For more information:http://www.webit.com/tw/linuxsis630.shtml Please make sure that you've actually _read_ that page before starting! > Thanks thomas!
