I configure Xfree86 as it was a singlke headed card. I saw that there is a #define in syncfb (don't remember exacty which file) that says max memory 16 MB. I can try to change this and recompile. Is the upper limit the minimum of this and from what Xfree86 reports? I do see some messages; syncfb: commited buffer has wrong status (repeated 30 times), but I don't know at what time these occured. I'll check more tomorrow. I must say that xine look extremely good with syncfb and I really wish that syncfb could be implemented also for the radeon, as I will receive a radeon le in the next few weeks. My preferred player until I got syncfb was ogle, since it "kindof allways works", but now picture quality is better with xine, so my next movienight with friends will probably be with xine. -- -Torgeir |
