Oh, sure. Via "dpkg-reconfigure -plow console-data" things are
quite simple.

To be honest, I don't know. :-) But I can exchage this card
for a Mach64 card, which apparently does. Is there any
possibility of having XVideo with Mach64 cards?
It seems that the current 4.2.0 packages that Branden is
generating doesn't include XV at least for the Mach64 on x86
(tested with a very old notebook with this a Mach64).
If, on the other hand, I use the binary drivers from the gatos
project (which are available for x86 only), I can get XV
working (and play movies with xine and mplayer that weren't
playable before).
It would be nice to have Mach64 with XV included in upstream
XF86, if there aren't any problems with it. :-) If that is the
case, then I would get the Mach64 to substitute the current
IMSTT card on this old PowerMac...
Thanks, Roger...
