Do the math yourself.
I, for one, am not surprised.
Hi Thomas,
If you meant to reach the bug submitter, you need to use the address:

Yes, I saw my mistake the second I had clicked "send".
Anyway, here's another point: Xv was not supported *at all* on the 6326
with 4.2. Hence, video applications were using another method (probably
xshm) by default.
I added Xv support for the 5597/5598/6326/530/620 in September 2002, so
it wasn't there before 4.3. (For a detailed changelog, see
http://www.winischhofer.net/sis630old.shtml)
Now, with 4.3, applications are using Xv, which takes extra memory for
the video frame - which simply isn't available.
Option "NoXvideo" should restore the old behavior.
This is 2004. Video applications not having any fallback algorithm in
case of a failure with one of the methods are a shame at least.
Thomas
