using radeon 9700 + fglrx
Hi, What's the best way to use mplayer with a radeon 9700 using the ati fglrx drivers ? My experiences are as follows: The fglrx driver offers two kinds of overlay: XVideoOverlay and OpenglOverlay. Using XVideoOverlay, mplayer's xv driver works, but only one fourth of the image is visible (scaled or not). On a side note, every xv driver experiences that problem (eg. xine), so it's not mplayer's problem. Using OpenGLOverlay, there is no xv device to use. The fglrx documentation says to use this kind of overlay, together with the opengl video output of mplayer. However, gl shows the screen with two vertical garbled lines, while gl2 shows each video much too slow. Another problem is that the fglrx OpenGL libs don't come with development files, and I think using mesa's dev files won't do any good (the packages conflict on my debian system, btw). Then I turned to radeon_vid, but while it compiles, it wont load (kernel, right ?). So is there anything I'm missing, or is this Ati's fault (not enough specs on the R300 chip) ? -- Tim Coninx -*- KULeuven Department of Computer Science http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/cwis/research/distrinet/public/index.php gpgkey @ http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~tim/ Carpe Aptenodytes!
