You'll need the ati.2 driver from www.linuxvideo.org (or a mirror, since the main site is fragile). Note I've only tested it on x86, but it doesn't look x86-specific (get the source, of course... I didn't see any ppc binaries).

The problem is that when I play any mpeg video, the frames are cropped to a portion of their actual size. A work around is to switch xfree to 16-bit depth and use the x11 video driver, but this is not desireable. Here are some specs for my system: G4 APG 450 512 MB RAM yellow dog linux 2.0 Some things that I have added to the standard ydl install: full ximian installation. benh's 2.4.12 kernel, compiled myself, stripping away unessecary XFree 4.1 drivers and extensions; and adding some like pci scsi support. ATI rage128 w/ 16 MB ram packages I have tried video play with include the latest versions of xine and videolan. _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
