Anyone know how to fake it? Load libstdc++ 5 source from Fedora 7 and recompile the kernel and libc?

Well, it's only 6 months wait. xD
I've been using ATI since the Rage 128 Pro days, so if I have to wait another 6 months for a stable, good open source driver, it's a drop in the bucket ^^

i wouldn't mind a laptop with an ati card, as long as it would be supported by opensource drivers.
Honestly, I'm not.

choose your graphics chip. More often than not, it is
not the primary consideration. Still, that does not
excuse ATI (now part of AMD) from building rock solid
and well working Linux drivers for all their chipsets.
In the end, it's that you're talking about a budget laptop that it becomes an issue of not having many choices. But, even then, if you're not against using Intel, you've got choices.
When you're buying a Laptop, everything should be a consideration, including parts choices. Even with Windows it should be that way.

Originally posted by lockheed02 View PostI had the same problem which already started in FC6 from a certain driver version. As workaround I could use "zapping" back then (less quality but borking). But now I'm on F7 (x86_64) and this doesn't work anymore.
New workaround which at least works for me:
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=1:width=576:height=432
I found this at http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/36906/?start=0
where the original mencoder command is posted
btw, I still use driver 8.40.4 with my Radeon X1600 Pro.
It seems that problem with xvideo YUY2 is only with 64bit version of driver, cuase i've read post, where people manage this problem with seting "VideoOverlay" "on" and "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
