RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description David Kovalsky 2010-08-25 13:38:43 UTC 
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [Quadro FX 880M] (rev a2)

has no Xvideo support.



[dkovalsk@kovinek ~]$ xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
 no adaptors present


This is the same hardware as in bug 626973.
Comment 2 Ben Skeggs 2010-08-25 22:56:16 UTC 
Just to clarify.  The support is there, but, due to unresolved issues on these chipsets that cause random hangs, all acceleration is disabled by default.  "nouveau.noaccel=0" on the kernel commandline will bring back Xv support, but may also result in random hangs.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-01-07 04:46:32 UTC

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
