Hi everybody,

I am trying to get DRI to work on a VIA C3 motherboard.
Background: running mplayer freezes X. (just X, I can ssh and reboot the
box)
Running mplayer -vo x11 (instead of the default that uses Xv extension)
works, but uses much CPU.
I understand that for Xv, XVmc to work, DRI must be enabled.

Xv shouldn't require DRI. You can check if the extension is available with
xvinfo. Either way, it should definitely not freeze the X server - I suspect
the unichrome driver's Xv support is just plain broken in the release shipped
with your X server. You might want to check Xorg's bugzilla on the issue.


Cheers,
