Voodoo 3 working better

[Rich Birch]

Hi Dave.

No I didn't do anything in my xvideo config. Maybe the quality of mine now
matches yours, but mine is a damn sight better than it was previously. I do
still get jumps, but only small ones and a lot less frequently.

Does vlc say 'xvideo' in the title of the playing window? Mine always said
x11 previously, but now says xvideo, and sdl works too although for some
reason it only fills half the screen when fullscreen is selected unless you
set preferences for the windowed screen to the fullscreen size and then
flick to fullscreen. There appears to be little difference between sdl and
xvideo, but i'd say the sdl is slightly worse if anything.

I would like to know if you did some special in your xvideo config. I have
enabled xvideo, dri and vlc has good quality, but it's not smooth because
every half second or so i notice leaps in the video stream.
