hmm... Im using AVview from gatos-project right now and its output is:
(and for this i have the ati.2 binaries, as i want to use the tuner on 
my r128 to watch tv..)

Are these xv stuff or is the naming just same?

And i can also change AVvies enconding from pal-tuner to XV_IMAGE..

With my previous processor/motherboard i had DRi etc all working and xv 
worked fine. Biggest difference was kernel, then 2.4.17 now 2.4.18-3..

Same here except i dont have VT-terminals anymore..so its power switch 
time.....

I wand/need DRI too, and it has worked before..

Is XFree 4.3.0 far from release?
