I'm writing an application that will just display video in an
X window, and do image processing effects on the data realtime
before display. So far, its going really good, I have it
working almost flawlessly using sync mode on the meteor and
MIT SHM for the display. Except, it flashes or goes corrupt
when I get these error on console:
meteor0: capture error: odd FIFO overflow.
meteor0: capture error: odd FIFO overflow.
meteor0: capture error: even FIFO overflow.
meteor0: capture error: even FIFO overflow.
meteor0: capture error: odd FIFO overflow.
meteor0: capture error: even FIFO overflow.
meteor0: capture error: even FIFO overflow.
meteor0: capture error: even FIFO overflow.
They just go and go and go, but only if I make the window real
big, or the frame rate really fast.
Sometimes I'll get a tdelay error too, I don't have one available
to grab the exact error from now.
Also, I'm having frame rate problems... what is the max frame
rate anyone has gotten out there? At 640x480, its being too
slow for confort, and at 520x390 its being pretty bad too,
I'll write up stuff soon to get exact numbers. The problem
exists with or without my image processing stuff.
My system is a PPro200 with a Intel Venus motherboard. The X
server is Xinside 1.3, using a Matrox Millienium 4 meg (soon
to be 8). xdpyinfo and dmesg results are at the end of this
message.
Any help would be appreciated, I can also distribute copies
of my app, but at the moemnt it is hardcoded for my needs,
16bpp display, Truecolor visual, and 24bpp input.
Any clues to the problem, advice, samples of work, or
explainations are appreciated.
Also, I have nasty problem when using a package I found called
nv. The system just freezes when I increase the bandwidth or
keep it running for a long period of time (a few minutes).
