Uh... Your word wrap didn't... IAC... Has anyone tried it (XFree 4.0.1, 4.0.3, 4.1, or 4.2 with any of the included or S3 drivers in FB mode or otherwise) with Ogle or other apps using Xv extensions? Reason I ask is that this is one thing I have NOT been able to get working with my 8200. All I get from Ogle is a green window with some noise lines. The Ogle gang have indicated that it's an initialization error in the Xv extensions and I've tried various drivers and versions and FB and non-FB (non-FB doesn't like to play nice with the external monitor and keyboard and my KVM switch). I've also tried a couple of other Xv apps with the same results. If Xv works on the 9000 I would have even more reason to upgrade. :-) > Nino has confirmed USB works. > In short.
