Ok. The Ati drivers won't give you any more than the Xorg radeon driver in this case. With a possible exception of possible video encoding in your video card if it has an R300 (ATI 9600) or higher chip. > Right, I done that, got a window with three cogs spinning with this output: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] tony $ glxgears > Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". So, it's missing DRI. In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, uncomment the last 3 lines - # Section "DRI" # Mode 0666 # EndSection and reload X. This assumes that DRI was built into your systems running kernel. > > My TV only needs 50 FPS but it's still very jittery as if missing frames. > That can be caused by other things in your system. On most systems the PCI bus is shared among hard drives, audio (AC'97 makes it worse) the WinTv data stream, etc. It's kind of a - depends thing. A PCI audio card with a DSP onboard may help. More memory could help. Setting the monitor refesh rate to 50 fps and turning on Sync to VBlank may help. Even your choice of kernel parameters can make a difference here. While I probably kind of ignored most of this thread (I grew tired of all the Ati bugs, dug out my old Nvidia GeForce3 and am much happier now). How about some hardware details on your system - chips, memory type and speed, cpu type and speed, etc.?
