[MPlayer-users] Problem with xvidix and ATI Rage Mobility M3

[Troy D. Strum]

I've had problems with the ATI Mobility M3 in Linux (and BeOS). It seems
that while it's specified as a Rage128 type card there's still not 100%
compatibility with the standard Rage128 drivers. The Rage128 framebuffer
console for Linux has this problem - it's recognized (and there's code in
the driver to detect it) but it barfs with a black screen and some random
flickering pixels.

Off Topic, but I noticed the exact same problem with the newest BeOS
(un)release the other night - the card was recognized in the latest
(un)release, but the same pattern of black+noise happened when the card was
initialized.

I have a ATI Rage Mobility M3 in an IBM ThinkPad A22m, btw.

  With the latest CVS version, mplayer says it has recognised my ATI rage
M3, it display something about codec used to decode the video, and it
freezes my computer without displaying anything.
