OK,
Here we are:
video output device: Radeon 7500 or if you prefer ATI Technologies Inc Radeon
RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] (prog-if 00 [VGA])
xv picture controls enabled: No, I have not enabled them and here is what
xvinfo says:
I have two adaptors:
1) Adaptor #0: "video4linux"
number of ports: 1
port base: 69
operations supported: PutVideo
and
2) Adaptor #1: "ATI Radeon Video Overlay"
number of ports: 1
port base: 70
operations supported: PutImage
I think you now have all that you asked me .... hoped so :-)
Does this help to indentify the problem... ?
