Re: No xvideo support for ATI Rage Pro?
Hi, Is there any driver that provides xvideo support for ATI Rage Pro / 128? I cannot get fullscreen support with mplayer. You you try the gatos drivers: http://gatos.sf.net The driver binaries for linux will work on FreeBSD, too. It is also possible to compile them yourself, but you will need the XFree sources for that. Btw. There are also DRI-enabled versions of that driver, but AFAIK the kernel modules have not been ported to FreeBSD yet. HTH, Simon pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

There is no xv-support for RagePro adapters in XFree86 4.3.0. You will need to use the drivers from GATOS [ http://gatos.sourceforge.net ]. Installation of those is pretty simple, you will just need to download an archive with binaries, extract it in /usr/X11R6 and restart X (it doesn't matter that the binaries were built on Linux). Xv support for Rage128 adapters is present in the drivers shipped with XFree86 4.3.0. -- Regards, Michael Nottebrock pgp0.pgp Description: signature

Sometimes, sometimes not ... They are so cheap, sometimes I get the feeling they put on it whatever they get into their fingers :( If you want to become completely confused, read the page how to get which driver you need (a kind of compatibility page).

Sorry, the site at ati.com is gone where the several chips are described, but in past sometimes I had to identify the cards by chip and a number on it. There are some Rage PRO and Rage 128 Pro which were the same and there were differences between several Rage PRO's and Rage 128 PRO's and Rage 3D PRO's. It was very difficult to see, because it depends on the time they were built. The first Rage PRO and the first Rage 128 PRO are different, yes, but some of them had the same features ... I don't want to tell they are indentical, they aren't. Neither all Rage PRO based cards are. Sorry that I cannot point you the page ...

Unlike DGA, you can't fix it with SGID perms on mplayer and /dev/mem (which implies that GtK GUI mode won't work, as this stops running if the EUID is 0) Xvidix seems to needs to open the video device as root, and there are only a limited number of built-in graphics devices (happily from my POV, Mach64 is one of them). However, I find that '-vo xv' is inferior to both '-vo dga' and '-vo xvidix' in respect of color (more noticable on some videos than others). It tends to win for smoothness of playback, but I find that I generally get best results with 'xvidix' these days (which directly supports my ATI Rage Mobility M1, laptop with PIII-600). If you've got more CPU horsepower, you may prefer other solutions. Cheers, AS To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
