Yes, using the C3 800 MHz, with PC133 DRAM (128MB).

When playing 720x576 DivX, it is also jerky, but for my DivX (512x288), it
is perfect, and the sound is also perfect.

Yes, I did, and setup my TV-Out to PAL (default is NTSC).
Still  a magenta line in the bottom (fs) with VGA.

Blue sceen is only when using TV-Out with X11. The window where the movie is
played is blue, if I toggle in fulscreen, the TV screen is blue !
With VGA it's works fine.

With vesa, it's OK, but the picture is at real size (512x288), and not fs.

Did someone try the hardware VGA/TV conversion ?
