[Mplayer-users] Voodoo 3 and Xv

[Emmanuel Pacaud]

Salut.

I just want to give a feedback on what I done to get mplayer working in
xv mode with a voodoo3 3000 card (on a debian Sid), for the others in
the same situation as mine.

Xfree-4.0.3 does not include YUY2 support. Then I had to get a new
version of the DRI driver on http://dri.sourceforge.net. Since i did not
want to compile myself all the XFree86 stuff, I'd get the binary
packages.

I have installed the last version (0.6), and mplayer works in xv mode!
Xvinfo says:

 Number of image formats: 4
      id: 0x32595559 (YUY2)
        guid: 59555932-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71
        bits per pixel: 16
        number of planes: 1
        type: YUV (packed)
      id: 0x59565955 (UYVY)
        guid: 55595659-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71
        bits per pixel: 16
        number of planes: 1
        type: YUV (packed)
      id: 0x32315659 (YV12)
        guid: 59563132-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71
        bits per pixel: 12
        number of planes: 3
        type: YUV (planar)
      id: 0x30323449 (I420)
        guid: 49343230-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71
        bits per pixel: 12
        number of planes: 3
        type: YUV (planar)
 
And no problem with the 3D acceleration part.I just had an X crash at
the begining and everything is ok since.(Note that the DRI installation
script of the binary package needs to build the tdfx kernel module
(include in the DRI package)).

I also tried the 0.5 version. Xv was Ok but all 3D apps segfault.

Could anyone, who has CVS access, update the voodoo answers in the
mplayer FAQ : need a DRI update to the 0.6 version (solution I had
tested) or compile Xfree86 from CVS (which someone told me it works).

Emmanuel.
