XVideo failures with Voodoo3 Xfree86-4.0.2
Hi all,
I have been lurking on the list archive here for a while and have found a
lot of usefull information. Kudos to you all. I have not however found
an answer to my current problem. I am currently unable to get the xv
extension to work.
What I mean is this. The XVideo Extension is shown loaded when I run
xdpyinfo. When I run a program that try to use it, such as omi_gtk, a
display window is shown for an instant and then the program segfaults
claiming a shared memory error. I understand that the DRI projects CVS
version has xv support for the Voodoo3. However, I believe that that
requires also compiling and using thier kernel module. That wouldn't
really be a problem by itself, but I prefer running straight Debian in
so far as possible. Anyway, could it be possible that I need to compile
and install a kernel module from Braden's patched X sources to get this
to work?
Anyway, if it helps omi_gtk gives the following log errors specifically:
LOG_ERROR
video_out_x11.c:_xshm_create#503
Shared memory error, disabling (seg id error: Invalid argument)
LOG_ERROR
video_out_x11.c:_xshm_create#503
Shared memory error, disabling (seg id error: Invalid argument)
LOG_ERROR
video_out_x11.c:_xshm_create#503
Shared memory error, disabling (seg id error: Invalid argument)
LOG_ERROR
video_out_x11.c:_xshm_create#503
Shared memory error, disabling (seg id error: Invalid argument)
Segmentation fault
I am interested in solving this problem but am unsure of where to
proceed from here. Please CC me on any replies as I am not yet
subscribed to the list.
ThankYou
Jason
