Re: OT- Xine 0.9.8 (unstable version of sid tree) crashes when playing a DVD ( Power Mac G4 ), Woody PPC.
Hi Dabowl,
first of all, that should probably be discussed on xine-user rather than
here, as there are both xine specialists and xine/ppc users
there. Moreover, that doesn't look very ppc specific to me...

Yes, that's clearly your X server moaning that it's running out of video
memory. You have three options here:
1) switch to a video mode that needs less ressources (smaller resolution
and/or less color depth)
2) try XShm output (command line option "-V XShm", will be sloooow)
3) get more video memory (probably means new graphics card)

Those should work fine with XFree86 (>= 4.1).

Not on ppc, as it's an ia32 specific MMU extension.
I have been told, however, that XFree86 4.2 comes with some Xv
improvements for the r128 that use DMA to transfer the actual video, which
might (or might not) result in a performance boost similar to MTRR.
Anyway, that won't help you as your problem is something totally
different...
Maybe you could try to use "xine-bugreport" to produce a bugreport that
contains more information about your system?
Cheers,
Siggi
