Hi, my problem started with mplayer not working anymore with my X with the xv driver. This happened after I migrated to kernel 2.6 and XFree 4.3 from unstable. Before that I was using kernel 2.4 (and I think 2.6.0) without problems using xfree 4.3.0-pre from experimental. mplayer -vo xv was working like a charm.
After investigating a little bit I found that in the Xfree log: (EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such device) (WW) I810(0): /dev/agpgart is either not available, or no memory is available for allocation. Using pre-allocated memory only. (WW) I810(0): VideoRAM reduced to 8060 kByte (limited to available sysmem) I also read that: http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/1896 So I added intel-agp to my /etc/modules, and rebooted. But now xfree doesn't start anymore. See attached dmesg and XFree logs for both the working (without intel-agp) and non working system. So it seems like if enabling agp is the solution to my xvideo problem, then I have to chose either having agp and no X or X and no xvideo extension used in mplayer... I am about to try kernel 2.6.3 to see if it solves the problem. Any idea? J
