[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] that xvidix radeon_vid.so works with atis fglrx drivers

Hi,

would you test if it works if you decrase the radeon_ram_size
(instead the current way) ?
and could you add a test if there will be some megs left if you shift
it?

btw, isn't an another way for detecting? depending on X in a driver
isn't a nice solution ;)
