Subject: Xvideo patch for R128
 
[I didn't see anything specific for patches on
http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo (and I haven't been keeping
track of the recent list changes), so I hope this is ok to post here.]
 
Here is a patch against XFree86 4.3.0 (from the xf-4_3_0 cvs tag).
 
The problem is that at high screen resolutions (i.e., with a high
dot-clock), if the ECP divisor is set wrong, images displayed with the
XVideo extension have weird "green" noise in them (vertical green static
that appears to be "over" or "between" the pixels).  Alternatively, if
the ECP divisor was somehow set correctly before XFree86 4.3.0 starts
(e.g., with Windows or GATOS), then the symptom is that only the left
half (or third) of the image is displayed when using Xvideo (because
h_inc is computed wrong).
 
Thanks, Rik Faith
