Description Caleb Shay 2002-06-17 16:11:35 UTC
The above URL contains a patch that adds Xv support for neomagic chipsets
(common in many laptops) with XFree 4.2.  This makes apps that support Xv (such
as mplayer) display much nicer.  Unfortunately, it's mixed in with a bunch of
other patches.  Realistically, since I'm the person requesting this I should
filter out the other stuff and supply a clean diff, unfortunately, I don't know
enough C to have any idea what is what.

A description of what is containted in the diff is at:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.2.0-SuSE/src/xf86/xf86.changes

Feel free to ignore this, but it's on my wishlist.

Added XFree86-4.2.0-Suse-Updates.patch to /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/files/4.2.0,
which will resolve this.  Rsync, and remerge X.
