I have been trying to get this working for a while but without much luck,
and I was advised that this list would be the place to go for an answer.
What I would like to know is whether it is possible to get the xvideo
overlay extension working in both screens of a xinerama setup? And if so,
could you give me some advise on how to get it functioning?
Here is my hardware: Voodoo 3 3000 AGP and ATI Xpert 98 PCI (reports as Rage
XL chipset) If this needs to be updated/replaced, I would have no problem,
but could you let me know what hardware is most likely to work?
I am using XFree 4.2.0 with a January 18, 2002 build date. My linux kernel
is 2.4.18.
I am able to get either head to overlay individually, however only the
primary (screen1) will work when xinerama is set up. I am including my
current XF86Config file below, in case someone can see something that I have
done incorrectly.
Thank you in advance for any help.
