The problem in the current CVS unichrome driver is a Opss when the via_drv.o deallocates a piece of DRM memory twice. Elsewhere in the Xserver DRM context 1 is removed. (This occurs when the Xserver resets its self when the lat client disconnects and the a new client connects and uses XVIDEO). It would appear that the via_drv.o code needs to be called back to tell it to shutdown. Is there such a call back to a driver? If so the via_drv.o code needs to arrnage for it to be called and clean up. I'm about to ship a product with a work around to the bug in the Unichrome drivers. I'm not going to be able to doing any testing until a few weeks time. What I really need to know is do you have people that are supporting UNichrome for XFree86. I can work with them on getting the bugs fixed. However if unichrome does not have support then I going to be forced to Xorg that does have support, and I'm not happy with the stability of Xorg. Barry
