You should add the dri packages (there are debian versions of these, I can find the link if you want). I think the radeon ones have the gatos xv extension which is what you want in order to get good video support. Its very simple to get dri going and I believe xv should work without even getting dri to work. You then get good video for example with mplayer using mplayer -vo xv. I even get smooth video using a 8M mach64 (rage mobility M1). I don't know how the proprietary (closed source) ATI drivers are. > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
