 It works for me.  Like you, I have a Voodoo3 3000 AGP.
 I'm running XFree86 4.1 though.
 
 Are you running your Voodoo3 in a 16-bits-per-pixel mode?
 Most of the Voodoo3 acceleration features only work when
 the depth is 16 planes, and I think that includes XVideo.

Hi,

tdfx driver for voodoo card certains supports XVideo, though you will need
a recent XFree.  XVideo also definitely works in 24 bit mode.

Hi Andrew,

So those who send patches should expect some feedback or questions as to
our code.

I submitted a tdfx driver patch on 7th Oct:

 Your submission to [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been assigned the
 sequence number A.1297.

I would have expected some sort of reply, perhaps one of:

 - patch accepted
 - send your patch to xx@yy, maintainer of the tdfx driver
 - we don't understand and won't apply - explain why you do ...

In my case the tdfx driver isn't used so much anymore, less so the XVideo
support that the patch improves.  Nevertheless, it seems selfish to keep
the change to myself.

OTOH - my offer of the code is in the Xpert archive so it can be
found.  One person asked for it so far - so perhaps that is sufficient.

Regards,
Steve

Hi,

Some while back I sent to fixes@xfree86,org my patch to make XVideo in
tdfx driver double buffered.

I have had no response.  Are patches wanted?  Should I expect a response?

Thanks,
Steve
