Negative, I'm using the standard unstable 2.4.21 kernel and I was just trying 
to open an AVI file via mplayer, to be viewed on the local display (driven by 
the stock ATI Rage Pro 64 embedded on the motherboard). In fact, the movie 
shows up but with a very slow frame rate. The driver used was SDL. I notice 
these warning using VLC instead of mplayer (output driver being the same) but 
movie doesn't show up at all, it seems that the stress induded by attempting 
to play the file causes the problem. (Or maybe, it's SDL (standard debian 
libs in unstable were used to build mplayer, while vlc is included in the 
distribution).
It smells like a CMD640 bottleneck problem, I'll try with scsi when I'll have 
some hardware available, I have an unused Sun external drive box at work and 
I can try that.

See you,
Antonello
