Bug#403975: Upgrade report, continues
Segfault appear to be fixed by upgrade to vesa driver that's arrived
in test today. However, the vesa driver is VERY slow compared to the
trident driver when using "mplayer" even though I've disabled XVideo
in the trident driver (mplayer window is blue when enabled).
The Trident driver also claims the display has 8192 kByte of memory,
it actually has 32768 kBytes. (It ignores a VideoRam option)
The ShadowFB makes little difference to the vesa driver (for video) but
prevents the trident driver working if it's set to yes; the screen
remains in what appears to be a corrupted "textmode". Note, however,
this is NOT actually textmode as I have a "vga=0x318" in my lilo.conf.
I've also now tried the fbdev driver; it appears to be getting the video
planes wrong in some way, I get four distorted copies of the desktop
across the screen. (ppmtofb works fine; once package problem is overridden)
