Derek, thanks for the fast confirmation.

Great
I had always hoped to see things improve.
A beautiful morning out there, the Sun is shining again
(feeling relieved, that the binaries finally work a bit)

Last week the APL hitting the streets, a week before that USIV+ reaching 2.4GHz.
Niagara2 and Rock soon to come.

Proud of being a sparc enthusiast and enjoying developments, after a loong 
period of darkness.
It's just nice.

Yeah, it is odd.
With the sunffb driver I get the same.
While I do get proper /usr/X11/bin/xvideo output on PGX32 (glint_drv.so).
It seems to be a limitation in the sunffb driver.
There is also a contradiction: "xdpyinfo|grep XVideo|wc -l" says 1, also under 
a box with AFB or FFB, where sunffb is used, i.e. my Ultra10.
I assume /usr/X11/bin/xvinfo's output is more accurate, which means, that 
XVideo was not loaded properly, mmhh   ...

But the sunffb driver should normally have XVideo suffort, as the following 
output suggests:

I have to go now, before I can make further investigations.
*If* it works for *bsd, we will also get it working for us.
