Intel driver problem

[Marco Coli]

Hello,

I have the following problem on an Intel Mac Mini.
Previously I had FC6 on the machine, with "intel" driver for X. All 
worked ok.
As soon as I upgraded to F7 (which has xorg-x11 1.3) I started to have 
problems with the driver, apparently related to Xv. It seems that 
XV_DOUBLE_BUFFER is always set to 0, creating tearing with HD material 
played by mplayer. It is also not possible to use Xv control to change 
contrast, brightness and so on in mplayer, myth.

Lurking the list, I saw it was a common problem. I also read that it 
seems to be solved with git driver version.

So I downloaded the driver (only 
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel), 
compiled it, installed it.

Now in Xorg.0.log I have
(II) Module i810: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
         compiled for 1.3.0, module version = 2.0.0
         Module class: X.Org Video Driver
         ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.2

Unfortunately, nothing has changed regarding my problem.
It's yet impossible to have a decent HD playback (with FC6 it was 
perfect), and I see with xvattr that XV_DOUBLE_BUFFER has value 0 and is 
not changable. Same with brightness control and so on, not working.

I am missing something? I have to recompile all X server and not only 
the modular driver?

Here is my xvinfo output. If other infos are needed, I'll be happy to 
provide. Thanks
