xorg-7.6

hiro:
Just upgraded my thinkpad (Intel 945GM) to 4.x

1. when I switch to console the console stays black. when I switch back to Xorg I can see the console's text for a flash though. Xorg itself is always working.

2. How do you use VO_XV in mplayer?

Rich:
Hi hiro
If it's not installed, maybe you need  graphics-KERNEL.tcz?

tinypoodle:
mplayer -vo xv

hiro:
No, I have graphics-KERNEL. Do I need a special version of Mplayer, or a special Xorg addon or so to have XV support?
What used to work in 3.x doesn't work here. Xorg-7.6 + Mplayer-nodeps.

Perhaps someone might also want to update the Mplayer-*.tcz.info files so that it's more clear how they differ and what one should want to use them for. There are currently four of them.
Also the Xorg-*info files. On the one hand Xorg-7.6 has acceleration (I'm using at least 2d), on the other hand it says you have to use the -3d.tcz extension for acceleration, and yet another conflicting piece of information is

This is more a request to fix the documentation than a support request. :D

curaga:
All the mplayer builds support XV, I believe. For Xorg, please post your Xorg.0.log.

One thing that changed from 3.x is that Xorg no longer depends on all the drivers (more modularization was requested), so if you don't pick a driver, it's using vesa.
