I just did a build from cvs and X now runs on my system w/ a Radeon 8500. I just wanted to thank those who're working on it. I do have a question about support for things like playing video (i.e. mpeg and/or avi files). I noticed that there's not yet any DRI support for the 8500's (that I can see), so I recompiled SDL to not use DRI and then recompiled my smpeg and avifile libraries. However, when I try to play an mpeg or avi, all I is get is a black box (offset slightly to the right of the window frame) where there would normally be the video. I've tried this both w/ and w/o DRI support in the SDL library and get the same results. Is this something to do w/ the radeon driver, or should I be talking to the SDL developers?
Thanks. FYI, the system is an Athlon system w/ Red Hat 7.2 install (no changes to any of the video libraries other than those described above). -- Noah Romer | Knowledge is power.
