<snip> I'd be worried why it's still trying to use an nvidia device when you're now using an ATI card. It could likely be related to vsync also - try using a different method (along with the correct driver) and so if this improves things. > 2005-09-22 12:32:11.993 nVidiaVideoSync: Could not open device > /dev/nvidia0, No such file or directory > 2005-09-22 12:32:11.995 DRMVideoSync: VBlank ioctl did not work, > unimplemented in this driver? > 2005-09-22 12:32:12.019 Using realtime priority. > 2005-09-22 12:32:13.111 OpenGLVideoSync: GLX extensions: > GLX_EXT_visual_info GLX_EXT_visual_rating GLX_EXT_import_context > GLX_ARB_get_proc_address GLX_ARB_multisample > 2005-09-22 12:32:13.112 OpenGLVideoSync: GLX Video Sync extension not > present. > 2005-09-22 12:32:13.118 Using audio as timebase > 2005-09-22 12:32:13.119 Video timing method: RTC > 2005-09-22 12:32:13.119 Refresh rate: 16579, frame interval: 33366 > 2005-09-22 12:32:13.119 waiting for prebuffer... > 2005-09-22 12:32:13.253 prebuffer wait timed out.. > 2005-09-22 12:32:13.253 waiting for prebuffer... > 2005-09-22 12:32:15.607 prebuffering pause This buffering could be video or audio related (I'd recommend trying a new version of ALSA instead of OSS if the video driver issue doesn't help).
