I also noticed a less stable picture when I recently upgraded my kernel. I am currently running 2.6.22. Softdevice output shows significant numbers of repeated and dropped frames. They are noticeable while watching. > > Do I still need to apply the matroxfb-vsync-irq (and matroxfb-g400-clock?) > patches to get a stable picture or have these now been added to the > vanilla kernel driver? Good question. I did the full memory patch only: I did not think the other patches apply any more, but could well be wrong. > Cheers, > > Laz > _______________________________________________ > Softdevice-devel mailing list > Softdevice-devel@lists.berlios.de > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/softdevice-devel _______________________________________________ Softdevice-devel mailing list Softdevice-devel@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/softdevice-devel
