I'm currently strugling to get video output running on my
laptop. According to X it has a 'Trident CyberBlade Ai1D', while the
unofficial Toshiba installation info site
(http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/) claims it to be an XP chip.
Which it is I am not quite sure of since a google search doesn't give
me any answers. If someone knows the notebook is a Toshiba Satellite
1800-504.

Well my main question actually was whether hardware accelleration for
Xv is supported for the chipset. All the Xfree 4.2.0 drivers I have
tested have run very slowly and when I have tried using the unofficial
drivers (both from Alan's site and from CVS), I have run into a
problem like the [B|C|A] problem while still running slowly.

The exact error pattern I get when playing video seems to depend on
the resolution of the videclip. A DivX in 640x480 gets one pattern
([C|B|C]) while a DVD (can't remember which resolution a DVD typically
comes in) gets another pattern which still has the right hand side to
the left and another copy of the to the right, however now I got a
striped-pattern-ghostimage over the part of the video to the right,
showing the righthand part once again.

If there is anything I can do to help please say so. This includes
testing and possibly programming, if you have some tasks which will
not be in conflict with the NDA which I suppose you have with Trident.
