Hi - Ok, I had a chance this evening to play around a little bit with the new xv-enabled driver -
When I was experiencing lock-ups before, I was using ivtv-0.3.4z, but now I went back to ivtv-0.3.4s (because that's the first one that had John's patch applied). The result is (yay!) I can play a dvd! BUT there's an opaque horizontal green bar across the screen (from about 10% down to about 60% down). I'm using the Xdriver v0.10 posted to the mailing list on May 15. Following John's advice, I ran without a window manager (I usually use fvwm) but that made no difference. Anyway, I'm very encouraged! It's great to see a dvd play with no tearing or frame dropping! (even if the colors are slightly funky...)
