Re: [XFree86] Xv support in SiliconMotion driver ?
Hello again all After some fiddling with the new 4.2.99 X server, I got the xv info stuff working on the SMI. But, one more question - the SMI says it can "putImage" as well as "putVideo" - does this thing have a built in frame grabber!? I couldn't find any spec mentioning this. I imagine it needs a 7114 or something similar to accompany it.

Re: [XFree86] Xv support in SiliconMotion driver ?
Hello again Alan I was hoping you could give me a hand with my Silicon Motion problems... I finally have the hardware sitting on my desk and have been testing with it this morning. The box is running RedHat 7.3. I've tried the system with the X server that came with the distro (4.2.0) and the new 4.2.99.4 release candidate. In both cases, xvinfo reports "no adaptors present". I've attached the config file I've been using (generated with X -configure). I've also included a verbose pci listing, which shows that the SMI chip is a 720, not a 721 (as I was previously told by the vendor). So, I'm thinking that there should be a way to make this work. If you have any tips I'd be quite grateful. Thanks!
