Backingstore (IIRC) was rewritten to use offscreen pixmaps when COMPOSITE is active. And since mplayer asks for such a window, all of its output is put offscreen and not subjected to vsync by most drivers. I haven't really had time to follow up on this, but someone else might be able to? :) As for the bug here, I can play around with it tonight and see what I come up with. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
