Re: Changing to X.org (was XF86Config-4)
I tried Xorg with my Debian Sid laptop, a thinkpad 770x , and I found out
that the XV extension is buggy .
My laptop has Trident Cyber937DVD and I use 1280 x 1024 resolution and
whenever I use mplayer all i get is a garbage in a window. Whenever I use a
lower resolution like 1024x 768 ,video playback returns to normal..
I tried googling for this bug but I got nowhere so I just returned to
Xfree..
