The XvMC libraries have also been + renamed, to 'libchromeXvMC.so' and 'libchromeXvMCPro.so'. + + +KNOWN BUGS/LIMITATIONS : +------------------------ +* Laptop panel +- Laptop displays for anything other than CLE266 and KM400/P4M800 are only + supported thru VBE calls. +- Xv is not working on laptop displays for VM800/CN700/P4M800PRO. It is however + working on VGA. +- Virtual terminal is broken on some laptop displays. Use a vesa framebuffer to + work around that (append vga=791 to your kernel command line, for example). + +* XvMC +- The hardware MPEG4 acceleration that is present on some chipsets is not + implemented. +- No XvMC support for CX700 (new, unsupported engine). +- No XvMC support for K8M890, P4M890 and P4M900/VN896 (need to get dri working + for them first). + +* TV output +- TV modes are hardcoded and must be choosen inside a list depending on the TV + encoder. +- Outputs are dependent on each other and will use the least common + denominator. If you're using both VGA/LCD output and TV output, the VGA/LCD + output will be limited by the TV encoder (720x576@50Hz for example). + In other words, there is no dual screen support. + +* Misc. +- Add-on and integrated TMDS encoders are not supported, except thru VBE. + +* Chrome9 +- Chrome9 chipsets' family (P4M900 and K8M890) currently doesn't + support neither AGP DMA nor 3D acceleration. + + +Please note that 3D acceleration is provided by Mesa (http://mesa3d.org) and is +not directly related to openchrome. + |
