just installed 8.40 and i can't get XV to work in Fedora 7.

xvinfo says...

10 > xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present



here's my xorg.conf:


# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]"
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200"
EndSubSection
EndSection



tried to make it as simple as possible. but i'm missing something.



and relevant snippets from Xorg.0.log:


(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found

...

(WW) fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported


only errors from there is about AIGLX.



and lspci output:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] (Secondary)


help!

Have you tried adding:

Option "TexturedVideo" "True"

to your xorg.conf in the fglrx device section?

wasn't it "On" instead of "True" ?

yes! that worked!

i forgot about that parameter. i've used it a while
back, but it slipped my mind through numerous upgrades.

would be nice if it was set by default.


thanks, Michael.
