frame dropings. During my days with windows. I had no problem with
watching movies. As mentioned in xine web-site, i tried xine-check &
these are the results:

[ hint ] Your X server doesn't support YV12 overlays.
That means xine will have to to color space transformation and scaling
in software, which is quite CPU intensive. Maybe upgrading your
X server will help here.
If you have an ATI card, you'll find accelerated X servers on

XVideo is an X server extension introduced by XFree86 4.x. This
extension provides access to hardware accelerated color space
conversion and scaling, which gives a great performance boost.
If you have a fast (>1GHz) machine, you may be able to watch all
kinds of video, anyway. You will waste lots of CPU cycles, though...

Is there any way to avoid frame droping?
My graphics card is S3 Trio 3D/2X. My distro is FC3.
Thank you
