Today I changed the pTrident->hsync -= 11; value. It removed the blue
line from the right side of the picture, but it still remains in the
top. Has anyone else found a better solution?
Also has anyone been able to play movies NOT fullscreen?
Thanx for all the help.
Is there a way to compile a file without compiling the whole xfree
again?
