Hi Mewn,
It almost sounds too easy! Well done.
Can I just ask a couple of questions on your setup.
a) have you an up-to-date ubuntu system? I'm after your kernel version which you can get from the results of 'uname -r'?
b) do you see messages of the form 'via disagrees with struct version' in the output of dmesg
c) do you see DRI getting disabled in /var/log/Xorg.0.log with errors about opening /dev/??/card0 (typing this in from memory)
d) are you using VeXP or VeMP? (The via enhanced Xine/MPlayer?)
e) What processor utilization do you see playing a PAL or NTSC sized MPEG?
f) Are you using TV-Out (S-Video or Component/HDTV)? If so, what are your Advanced BIOS settings for that and xorg.conf.
g) what video drivers have you selected in xine/mplayer?
ooops - thats more than a couple. There are a number of people (including me) who have knocked their heads against this for quite a while trying to get just the right combination of BIOS/xorg settings. To have someone with a working system we could copy is a godsend.
Many thanks.
Paul.

- Go to VIA Linux Portal
On the left menu, choose "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS"
On the right menu, choose "CX700X/VX700"
Download the "stable" driver.
Uncompress it, run the installer.
Go to /usr/lib, as root chmod ugo+r *GL*
And voila, everything is working included 3d.... |
