[MPlayer-users] Pb with XV output on a Via KM 400 chipset.

[Hugo González Monteverde]

I know the parent message is old, but I just experienced the same 
problem with pre7 and the latest version of X in Slackware 10.2.

The via driver in XOrg claims to support Xvideo. Does anyone have the 
same problem? I have CLE266 shipset in a VIA EPIA M1000 with unichrome 
graphics...

I will try the unichrome_vid driver and see if I can get it to work..


Any comments would be appreciated,

Hugo
