[Mplayer-matrox] Problems with mplayer1.0-pre1

[<kv...@st...>]

I'm running 2.4.21-vanilla with the patchset made by Ville Syrj=E4l=E4 fo=
und
at DirectFB.org. I've enjoying this for a very long time, and i've been
using dfbmga to view video on my television using a AthlonXP1800+ and
Matrox G550. The support is great! and im really impressed of being
able to start a movie just by typing "dfbmga nameoffile.avi" :))=20

Unfortunately the mainboard stopped working after experimenting with a
faulty CPU. So now im stuck on a p3 450Mhz untill i get a positive
cash-flow and can buy a new mainboard im stuck with a computer that is
too slow to show movies on the tv without skips. Im still hoping there
will be a fbdev/directfb/dfbmga-update or general update of mplayer1 so
that tv-output will be possible using my
low-efficiency-brand-equipment.Im also using the mga_vid-module cause
this gives me flawless, skipless video output on my lcd with most types
divx and alterations.=20

With the aforesaid kernel i have however come across some problems when
compiling mplayer1.0-pre1, specifically with the mga_vid-driver.

root@s216c~# modprobe mga_vid
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/char/mga_vid.o: unresolved symbol
_mmx_memcpy
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/char/mga_vid.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/char/mga_vid.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/char/mga_vid.o: insmod mga_vid
failed

Im not good at c-programming so i can't fix this myself. So I was
wondering if someone else on this list has got things to work. If so,
give me a shout!

And by the way?

What will happen to Ville Syrj=E4l=E4's patches in upcoming kernels? Im
really eager to try out features in the 2.5 and 2.6 brand of the
linux-kernel. I can't find any updated patchsets for those kernels.

I know that Ville isn't the maintainer of the matrox-support maintainer
of the kernel, but what he and others have done for matrox-support in
mplayer is really brilliant, and i think that support for a close to
obsolete brand of cards (g200/400/550andallthose) lay mainly in
video-output (since the weak support of opengl in the current drivers
(and in the cards themselves))

But thats just my oppinion
(And sorry about the small "i"'s. I'm not ilitterate... just norwegian)
