Hi most of my install runs fine, my graphics card if recognized, and it says quartz mode is supported.
Open gl graphics work fine, but a little blocky compared to other modes in vlc on windows.
I have patched the cpuids with marvin, but I had three that give errors one is vlc.

Vlc seems to work fine, but when I tried to change to quartz mode to see if its any better than opengl
the video screen crashes.

Anyone got any idea of a fix? Does it also crash in quartz mode for other users?
