x1250 sync to vblank
I, I have these horizontal tearing problems which show as horizontal tearing problems during video playback. I'm using latest git versions of the driver and mesa. Are there plans to support syncing to vblank? Thanks ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
Re: x1250 AIGLX
Is it possible to use current mesa git with xserver 1.4 (maybe disabling dri2) or does it requires xserver git?

I may play around with it a bit if I have time, but unfortunately, I seem to be unable to notice tearing generally. Do you have any good tips or content that would make it easier to notice? Yes, I generally use this free calibration DVD: http://merifon.altervista.org/TestDVD.html (200 Mb, direct link: http://www.isaneri.it/bg/TestDVD1_08.zip) If you extract it and play VTS_04_1.VOB, at the end you find a fast horizontal moving patter, which evidently shows an horizontal tearing. ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
Re: x1250 horizontal tearing problems
Just FYI, I've tried the patch. It solves the problem when running in fullscreen. If the window i'm playing the video in is smaller, sometimes the horizontal tearing appears again. Moreover, if i run a big enough window with ARGB visual above the movie window, the tearing appears as well. (this problem does not occur with smaller ARGB windows) On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 10:52 PM, Alex Deucher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 4:34 PM, Alex Rades [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, when playing videos (either in xv or plain x11) on my x1250, I always see horizontal (not diagonal, which are now fixed) tearing problems.

Re: x1250 horizontal tearing problems
I've also just noticed that the above behaviour only applies when running xcompmgr. When there is no composite manager, The horizontal tearing is always present.

I'm using AccelMethod EXA and RenderAccel FALSE (all other settings are defaults). Thanks! Thanks P.S. do you have plans to implement kernel modesettings like the intel driver? It's planned. There is even some initial support in the modesetting-101 branch of drm git. Nothing user ready yet.
