If i play mpegs or aviīs with xine or vlc I allways have a strange colorful lline on the right side and und the buttom of the screen.

I have a EPIA Board with a 800 C3. The grafic chip is a Trident Cyberblade.

Any idea what i can do?
I allready tried to use fb, but it is to slow and there a still these "interferences".

I did some searching and I found an XF86Config-4 file for a laptop using the CyberBlade video, here is the video "device" section:
(snip)...
Section "Device"
Identifier "vesadevice"
Driver "vesa"
# If you disable shadowfb, you find what it really means to have no
# acceleration. So don't do it.
Option "shadowfb"
EndSection
(snip)...

Notice two things:
Driver "vesa"
Option "shadowfb"
you might want to starup with:

knoppix xmodule=vesa

and see how things work, if that seems OK you should be fine running like that, if you need to use the "shadowfb" option you may need to startup with:


knoppix 2
and then edit or copy over a fixed XF86Config-4 file then start X using:

su knoppix
startx

HTH

Hm, didnīt help.
I think the auto-dedectet "tident" X-Server is the right one.
If i use the vesa i get very low frame rate (0.3-0.5 fps) on playing mpgs.

I think the problem has is locatet somewhere around the "vidix" driver which need root permissions on execution.

Strange: Video problems are only there if i run xine or vlc in fullscreen.
If i start the mpg in an window, no problems.
