R: R: R: [Voyage-linux] Alix1/3 VGA support (lxfb)

[Dario Finardi]

Tested another mpeg1 file... Wasn't well encoded and the framedrop was quite hight (+20%).

This is my last message about this topic until a complete test and benchmark.

I've made a quick test.

I was able to play a full non interlaced PAL (720x556) video coded in mpeg2 + stereo track.
The video was running ok, loosing few frames.
The cpu was really busy (>80%).

During next days I'll make some more test with more optimized videos.

Thankyou Punky for your fast reply!

Please test and report if it works.
