I have tested this with my good old ATI Rage II+DVD: it works fine! Just two notes: 1. I was not able to do the upgrade from the 4.2.1 meta-por= t via portupgrade, and I had to remove and re-build Xft and fontconfig in order to make things compile. Btw.: I have noticed in this moment, that the pipe symbol does not work any longer on my german keyboard, although the rest works (including german umlauts). 2. The ati.2 drivers from http://gatos.sf.net work fine (as they did with t= he previous 4.x version): Installation: a) check out the sources via CVS (instructions on gatos site) b) cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server && make configure c) in gatos' ati.2 dir: xmkmf /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server/work/xc gmake install =20 This will overwrite various drivers in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules, so backing them up is not a bad idea, just in case the gatos ones should fail! =20 Now I have Xv-Support, which enables me to watch DivX videos on my good old K6-III 400 :-) Speaking of performance: Can you tell me from this log snippets, whether wr= ite combings _is_ enabled, or not (pls. tell me if I have left out too much) What else could I do in order to accelerate my video output [1] ? Has this something to do with these kernel modules, DRI, etc.? I'm afraid, I am not = in know about recent graphic adaptors? Thanks for any pointer.
