Experiencing the same issue on macmini G4 ppc with a Radeon 9200 card. Mplayer
works fine, VLC does not. Noticed further issues with Xserver:1) When running
Xorg -configure, X crashes with the following message: (excerpt)List of video
drivers:
radeon
mach64
r128
ati
(++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(II) [KMS] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol, no kernel modesetting.

Bus error at address 0x48173000
Fatal server error:

2) syslog shows messages like: (don't know if it matters)Oct 11 00:17:47
macmini kernel: [ 1756.527455] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: Invalid ROM contents
Oct 11 00:17:47 macmini kernel: [ 1756.527589] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: Invalid
ROM contents
3) xdpyinfo lists XVideo among extensions, but doing a xdpyinfo -ext XVideo
results in the following message:Â XVideo extension not supported by xdpyinfo
BTW I upgraded xorg server to testing version, and since then I noticed one
improvement:xdriinfo now says "Screen 0: r200", whereas before it said "not
direct rendering capable". Again, no idea if this has any connection to the
XVideo issue. Also, I installed firmware-linux-nonfree, and noticed better
performance (when running glxgears), but no joy with VLC.
I'd be happy to run any sort of tests and provide any kind of information
needed to fix this bug.
Cheers,Pavle.
