[patch] XVideo on my Radeon

[Jacek Popławski]

Hello.

I have submitted bug report about my problem with XVideo on xorg 6.9 /
7.0:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5623

I asked people on newsgroup and forum, and found only one person with
exactly same problem, but that person switched from DRI to fglrx and
problem disappeared. I also found happy users with working XVideo on
Radeons - so this bug is probably very rare. Anyway - I am using Radeon
9100, and that another person is using 9600 - so this is not related to
chip version (maybe new gcc?).

I used CVS version from 2005-08-01, compiled it, and realized that
XVideo is working. So I started search and found that it stopped working
between 2005-08-25 and 2005-08-26. Problem was in file radeon_bios.c:

if (!RADEON_BIOS8(tmp + i*2) && i > 1) break; /* end of table */

was changed to:

if (!RADEON_BIOS16(tmp + i*2))
	break; /* end of table */

When I changed back that in the current CVS - XVideo started to work!

Is this the right place to discuss such problems? Or is there any
Radeon-related mailing-list?

Where should I send proposed patch?
