I too was waiting earlier this day for the CVS to wake up.

However, it was worth waiting for because the patch worked. I tried it
on a couple of divX movies and the playback was smooooooooth.

Though, there were one moment when it complained:

dxr3_scr: WARNING: pts dropped to zero.
video_out: vpts/clock error, next_vpts=1270323 cur_vpts=1
dxr3_scr: WARNING: pts dropped to zero.

Michael, I assume that this was what you were referring to as due to
"broken em8300 module".

Besides that, it _really_ is a good picture on my television when
playing all sort of movies from Xine and through the dxr3. I will for
sure recommend this to people I know.

Again, good work, Michael and thanks a lot.
