OK, this is really getting to be a problem... I know, I know, never ever ever buy a computer with an ATI videocard.. sigh... Anyway, I have a bookshelf computer I am using as my media center.. stats... Video card: ATI Radeon 1200 Driver: 2.1.8494 (from standard 11.1 repositories) OS: openSUSE 11.1 (just did a full wipe and clean install) with KDE4.3 RC1 Display: Toshiba 32" LCD at 1024x768@60Hz I installed the drivers via the repositories, and then used sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx to "set it up" (including setting the Display to LCD 1024x768@60Hz). Reboot, and things are working using the fglrx driver. These are settings (and setup process) that I used with my 11.0 install that was working OK-ish up until I reinstalled everything to move to 11.1 this morning. Now the problem. On starting up KDE4 on the green KDE4 startup screen, the screen strobes or flashes until the desktop is loaded (only a few seconds). I can live with this, but... on starting up an application like XBMC, the screen strobes and flashes for at least 15 to 20 seconds. Sometimes things settle down and XBMC will work... other times on starting XBMC, it will keep strobing making XBMC unusable. XBMC is just one of many applications that will mess up the display (ie strobing)... example starting the KDE Control Center and picking a random setup icon.. say... Computer Administration > Display (to set the power management for example) will cause the screen to strobe wildly for a few seconds. Any ideas on this one? Am I going to need to roll back to a much earlier driver? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
