https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434215 Summary: Random Latency Issues Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: quentin.jackson@exclamation.co.nz QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer This may or may not be a bug with OpenSuSE but I believe it is, or can be fixed by the opensuse people for upstream advantages at least. When playing Video I get random latency issues, jumpy screens and non-fluid motion. This is not neccessarily happening a lot, but does happen enough to notice, (ie every 2-40 seconds) I have personally experienced this on quite a few different hardware configurations and with many versions of OpenSuSE, all very modern with lots of CPU, memory and graphics power including dual and quad core, ATI and NVIDA, name brand and clone. I don't recall it being a big problem in OpenSuSE 10.3. The problem effects Xine and mplayer and it doesn't seem to matter if I use standard, packman rpms or compile from source. I believe there is some process or the like which takes a lot of an important resource for a split second causing the issue such as a kernel problem or a service somewhere but I have gone past my experience to fault find it any further. I am hoping someone here will be able to advise me which steps to take to prove this is a bug or a feature enhancement as I believe this will effect more people than just me. The issue is more prevalent in high definition content but is not limited to it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
