FYI:
The X 4.2 driver is (more or less) identical to the version of 16/1/02
available on my site. Unfortunately, the deadline for committing to the
X CVS came exact one day too early - the driver included with 4.2 has a
serious bug in the Xv part that makes playing video impossible if (don't
ask...) - no external VGA is connected (and switchied on) at boot time.
This is fixed in newer versions (after 16/1/02) on my site, and will be
fixed in the first update of X 4.2.
