[opensuse] Graphics is slow after a couple of weeks (ATI)
Hi all, i'm using OpenSuSE 10.1 with a ATI Radeon 6800 (RV350 AR) and the official ATI Radeon driver. I have configured and installed the driver as described in the howto (http://en.opensuse.org/Howto/ATI_Driver). All went well. As after couple of weeks the movies (dvd) started to run very slow in fullscreen (actually even in a smaller window it's a kinda dia show). Now i don't know what might be the reason for this slowdown. Some suggestions as to how i could solve this? -- Serge Ratke --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Serge, This sounds more like the dma setting on your drive more than the graphics. Check to see if you have dma turned on for that drive. regards, Lee --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for your answer. I turned dma off/on with no result i could live with. I had the same behaviour with a prior ATI driver. After a installation of a newer version it seemed to be fine again. As, like i said, after couple of weeks the performance went down. -- Serge Ratke --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
