I notice when playing video with the new very fast Mach64 xv support causes the pink overlay to bleed through, (even the Xine logo) I heard Bazik had Mach64+Xfree 4.3.99.902 and wanted check if people other than me had seen this.

There is no fix for this possible. IIRC there is an entry in the Xine FAQ that too small video memory causes these color problems.

So more video memory is used when XV is being used? The video played fine before, just it was more choppy. It is almost like watching a TV that isn't fully tuned in.

Here are some screenshots

XV disabled (slow but perfect quality):

Xine logo with XV enabled (notice the pink):

Same video being played, XV enabled (more pink):

Turning the brightness and saturation down don't make the pink go away (just make it black and white)

Have You tried to play the same video with mplayer to see if it's a Xine Problem or a XV problem? I have mplayer installed but no Xine, and playing videos on my mach64 (ATI Rage 3D LT pro) with mplayer using XV video output causes no problems.

HTH

Does your card have 4 MB memory like the onboard in the Sun Workstations or is it a PCI card?

Yes, I just checked the technical docs on sun's site and it does have 4mb memory (soldered on video like the u5 or u10)

For all intents and purposes it is a U5/U10 without a UPA slot in an ATX case. (With PS/2 ports)
