hi,

i was able to fix my playback problem with xvidix and xfree running with atis 
firegl drivers (fglrx_drv).
it seems that the driver reserves the last 5MB of video memory for something 
else, which interferes with mplayer using this space for DGA, so that only 
strange patterns are shown.
I shifted the DGA adress for mplayer about 5MB. funny thing is: the more the 
dga frame is outside the 5MB border, the more the movie is displayed 
correctly.
so the changes are:
#define FIREGL_MEM_RESERVED 0x500000;

radeon_overlay_off = radeon_ram_size - info->frame_size*nfr - 
	FIREGL_MEM_RESERVED;

maybe it's possible to add something like vidix/drivers/fglrx_vid.c to the 
sourcetree with this patch leaving the radeon_vid.c untouched. (so I have not 
to patch it every time a new mplayer version is realeased :))))

I could post the complete fglrx_vid.c to someone.... but whom?

many greets
