The Xv extension in XFree's savage drivers seems to be broken, which hard locks the machine when they're used. If your machine is fast enough, run "xine -V xshm" so it won't use the extension. > My PC is an AthlonXP 1600+, 24bit color 1280x1024, XFree 4.01 running on a > S3 SavegePRO+, Red Hat 7.2, 2.4.17 kernel. Okay, so it's a savage card and your machine should be well fast enough. Cheers, Siggi |

Many of the "hard locks" caused by the savage driver are fixed in the latest versions of XFree (4.1 or 4.2). Suggestion: either install rpm updates for RedHat 7.2 (which would give you XFree 4.1), or upgrade to RedHat 7.3 (which comes with XFree 4.2). My ThinkPad T20 works very nicely since then, using Xv extension. (it is equipped with a savage card). Ciao, Mauro. |
