Description Robert Noland 2008-12-15 20:33:28 UTC 
965 XvMC call drmOpen by name, which fails if it isn't the first open.  On linux drmOpen has a fallback that gropes around in /proc and eventually succeeds.  On other OS it just fails.  I'm attaching a patch that corrects the 965 case.  I810 likely needs the same fix, but I haven't looked at it closely yet.

    Fix drmOpen for non-linux 965 XvMC
    
    drmOpen by name only works on linux after falling back to groping around
    in /proc.  This doesn't work on other OS.
