This is bad because that is the last version with UMS, and since S-Video is a still a no-go on KMS, this version of the driver is needed.

Please file a bug upstream [1] to get this fixed ASAP and paste the URL here so I can track the issue.

As for the compile error, I'll see what I can do but don't hold your breath, 2.9 is already unsupported by upstream.

Thanks

I have already done that. But it is a somewhat bloated bugreport, since it contains two bug which I initially thought was one (none has been fixed upstream, although one of them had a patch) and my desperate attempts to find out what was wrong, but the bug has become very silent since I found out that the screen distortion does not appear with 3d contents, just get noticeably worse.
I even have a kernel bisect of which commit broke stuff, but noone has even asked me to find out what actually broke with that commit.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23899

I can also without problems reproduce the problems on both a F13 livecd and a Ubuntu 10.04 livecd, so hopefully it will get more attention soon as others starts to hit it.

This was what I assumed, and that is why I filed this bugreport in hope of having a working UMS in Gentoo. I think Ubuntu has patches for this since they ship 2.9 in 10.04 as they did not want to lose UMS, but if those patches are usable with gentoo I do not know.

You might want to try opening your own bug report with the results of your bisect, that will probably refocus upstream on your issue.

I need to check but I think they might still be using Xorg 1.7. In any case, I'll take a look, thanks for the tip.

Cheers

You mean open a clean new bugreport on bugs.fd.o about the screen corruption issue?

A quick check on packages.ubuntu.com and it seems like you are right. OTOH because of their heavy backporting you cannot be sure of if they needed the fix anyway...

[Comment 5 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2010-06-23 11:46:54 UTC]

I honestly doubt upstream will forward port 2.9 to xorg-server 1.8.

Please upgrade to the latest versions of the driver/server/kernel and file bugs upstream to get S-Video output fixed. There's little we can do here.

Thanks
