[Savage40] IBM t23 supersavage, xvideo overlay

Hi,


I am running Linux Kernel 2.6.10, xorg cvs, drm cvs and mesa cvs on my 
t23 with supersavage IX/C SDR card.
Xvideo works perfectly when I am running 1024x768. But all smaller 
resolutions
(640x480, 800x600) are producing a video overlay which is only filled 
with videodata in the upper right part. The rest is blue. What you see 
is the actual movie, but it seems like the linebreaks (if this exists in 
xvideo) are wrong.
Since the display  and the position of the video is wrong, the error may 
be, that the Xvideo driver
does not recognize the smaller resolutions but uses for its calculation 
further on 1024x768.

The XFree86 4.3.0 drivers had these problem for me also, but only on 
tv-out. The actual driver has it
now on LCD and tv.

I did not found a cheap workaround like starting X in 640x480 mode or 
similar.

Had anyone similar problems? Since the t23 seems to be very popular 
laptop, but I could not
find any problem reports concerning my issues...

Best Regards

Harry
