I tried Xorg with my Debian Sid laptop, a thinkpad 770x , and I found out that the XV extension is buggy . My laptop has Trident Cyber937DVD and I use 1280 x 1024 resolution and whenever I use mplayer all i get is a garbage in a window. Whenever I use a lower resolution like 1024x 768 ,video playback returns to normal..
I tried googling for this bug but I got nowhere so I just returned to Xfree.. --- Lars <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Couple of questions, before trying to change to x.org: > 1) I found out no apt-get other than backport: deb > http://people.debian.org/~nobse/xorg-x11/ sarge main > What works best backport or http://x.org/ regarding dependencies? > (synaptic-driver is also on backport) > > 2) What about xfs,gdm, everything.
