Re: [xine-user] ATI Rage Theatre support?

[Hod M. <ho...@wu...>]

I'm using an AIW Radeon, and as far as I can tell getting full use of
the Rage Theatre. Since someone helped me work out a frame drop issue,
DVD playback is stunning.

rawdev is set up correctly on my system, but doesn't seem to be getting
used. I'm using th d5d plugin because 1) i can't find d4d 2) dvdnav is
SLLOOWWW on startup.

The system is a dual Via board with one P3 1G chip installed, 512MB
SDRAM, ATI AIW Radeon 32MB, SB Live MP3+, UDMA disk and dvdrom.

I'm running 2.4.18-rc1.wuff.1 with alsa 0.9.0beta10, latest cvs
drm-kernel and km from cvs.gatos.sourceforge.net, XFree 4.2 compiled
from latest xf-4_2-branch, Xine 0.9.8 FreshRPM version.

Xine alsa09 driver is using spdif bypass, which means the audio is
coming out the back of the video card, which in turn means that Rage
Theatre /must/ be in use.

If someone wants more detailed info, let me know. I can get whatever
metrics, debug output, etc. you need.
