[MPlayer-users] Re: Re: Display is cut in half using xv

That's just what kind of video card the Thinkpad had... Best to check
what driver you're actually using.

It's been working for me with the old driver, so I never got around
to looking at the patches to see what changed between 8.0 and 9.0...
just too busy.

I thought it was only the Trident cards, but it might be worth a try
with other drivers.  I don't know what video system the Latitude uses.

Good luck!
