Does it work for all radeons? > No drawbacks and it's supported on all radeons. In fact on r5xx and newer radeons, there is only textured video Xv. The overlay is still exposed on chips that support it (r1xx-r4xx) however since some users prefer it and the overlay filtering is probably better on chips that can't support bicubic filtering in shaders (r1xx/r2xx chips). Textured video also has the advantage of showing up on multiple heads while the overlay can only be sourced to one crtc at a time. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
