[MPlayer-users] [bug] mga_vid Vs linux 2.5.44-ac2

[Nyk Tarr]

I'm not sure if this is going to be a problem, but mga_vid.o does some
nasty things (corrupts the display and hangs the system) when compiled
for and used with linux kernel 2.5.44-ac2. It worked perfectly with
2.5.42-ac1, but I'm no C programmer and there are quite a few changes.

2.5 will soon become 2.6, but I have no idea if the changes introduced
in this kernel will transfer to 2.6...

Regardless, I'll keep testing and post results...

This is the /var/log/syslog entry for the broken mga_vid

here's a warm reboot with a 2.4 series kernel
