Since rsyncing to Ben's 2.4.19-rc1-benh yesterday (and today), I have not been able to build an SMP kernel with working XV. System is AGP dual PowerMac with 450MHz 7400's, Rage 128, XFree85 4.2.0 and YDL 2.2. Kernels built with Ben's config and and minimal change for SMP (I've tried distributed and non-distribured rupts). I had SMP and XV working with Xine from a Saturday rsync, but not since rsync'ing yesterday or today (and I saved and tried the same config that had worked). All builds are mrproper. It looks like there have been some changes in some DRM and FB header files, but I didn't save the previous version to diff against XV will work with Xine when built as a non-SMP kernel, but an SMP kernel will lock-up almost instantly after hitting the Xine play button with dual processors and after a couple of seconds with a single CPU (maxcpus=1). After lockup I can usually telnet in to reboot, but not always (usually the screen blanks or loses sync in these cases). Haven't had any success trying to kill and restart the X server as can usual be done with X server hangs. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
