Just because X loads the extensions does not mean that the driver provides XVideo surfaces. That just means that the 'xvinfo' application has someone to talk to. :/ It may be that you need a CVS version of XFree86 (even _newer_) but that's just speculation. I'm actually not really sure what Alan meant. Alan: did you mean the kernel modules (like is some DRI support required for Xv with sis?)? -- Billy Biggs vektor@xxxxxxxxxxxx
