I then edited the trident_video.c file, within the TRIDENTDisplayVideo() function I commented out the Horizontal Zoom section. I did a make clean, make, and saved the resulting trident_drv.o module. I then edited the file again, this time commenting out the Vertical Zoom section. Rebuilt and saved the module again. I then did four tests using Xmovie and an mpeg clip at 1024x768 resolution in 16 bit color. First test used the original stock trident_drv.o module-the mpeg clip played just fine although in distorted color along with the rest of the display. The second test used the patched trident_drv.o module that had the XvExtension function removed. I got good 16 bit color, the mpeg clip played but with a distorted (slanted) output. The Xserver did not lock or crash. Third test used the trident_drv.o module that had the Horizontal Zoom function removed-I got the same results as the second test. The Xserver ran fine in 16 bit color with a messed up mpeg clip under Xmovie, and did not lock or crash. The fourth test used the (you guessed it) trident_drv.o module that had the Vertical Zoom function removed and got the same results as the second and third tests. Between each module swap and test I did a complete powerdown of the laptop, so the display was initialized from scratch. Let me know what to do next. -- Best regards, Mike mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
