Some days ago there i got some updates and this one for my machine (X-Server). Its changelog is showing this: #- xf86-video-intel 2.7.99.902 # * This is the second release candidate in preparation for the # upcoming 2.8.0 release. Most major and critical bugs should # be fixed, but some minor bugs may still be present. We will # appreciate any feedback we can get from testing of this # snapshot to improve the 2.8.0 release. I am receiving problems since installing this and some further updates. Before these updates there have not been such issues. I have been contacting a person at SUSE already. I was adviced to, please try here. So thats the intention of this E-Mail: Systemoverview:- This Xorg repository:"../repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1/" - This one, too: "../repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_11.1/" - KDE 4.2x Repo + suiting QT + Community ... - ASUS EAX1950 XTX PCI-E- Screen: HPw2408h - SuSE 11.1 ( 32 Bit ) - Grafikdriver is "radeon" In past i had been using driver "radeonhd" but it had bigger troubles than radeon and radeon worked quite really good until this update so this is about "radeon":: ## Problems: I got a IVTV (mpeg2) stream TV-card. Watching TV in Mplayer brings problems: - I can not watch TV and for example start FooBillard at the same time. The Xserver (whole KDE) will lockup. I am able to move the Hardwarecursor. But i can not make any other inputs anymore. No clicking. No ACPI softbutton shutdown. Only turning the computer hard off is possible. - On the other hand i have been trying several different videodrivers in mplayer to hopefully get around this issue but no choice as all are bringing the freeze trouble in combination with eg.: FooBillard. Here is a listing of results related to videodriver: # - X11 (Normal picture -> freeze with TV and game ath same time) # - XV (Normal picture -> freeze with TV and game ath same time) # - xvmc (Black picture -> only sound) # - vdapu (Black picture -> only sound) # - gl (Very sloppy picture, sound appears like in 10 second steps?) # - "gl (fast)" (Very sloppy picture, sound appears like in 10 second steps?) # - "gl (fast ATI)" "same as gl fast" # - "gl (YUV)" "same as gl fast" # - "gl2" (Normal picture but freeze in combination with FooBillard?) # - "gl2 (YUV)" (same as gl2) At the moment there is no proper multitasking possible. So my solution at the moment is to not start a game and TV at the same time. I am using Googleearth with this drirc: (That shouldnt be a problem)? #<driconf> # <device screen="0" driver="r300"> # <application name="Google Earth" executable="googleearth-bin"> # <option name="disable_lowimpact_fallback" value="true" /> # <option name="vblank_mode" value="0" /> # </application> # </device> #</driconf> (This was all about "radeon") until here. ### This is about trying "radeonhd": I had also been writing with a person of SuSE and he adviced me to try radeonhd. I did but this worked even worse. FooBillard locks up the Xserver immediatly. Here is another things i found with radeonhd: -> My screen (hpw2408h) is not detected correctly. (Modlines differ massively comparing 'radeon') -> Chooses 1024x768 always -- but native is: (1920x1200@60hz) -> X locksup instantly with FooBillard -> Havent tryed multitasking and switched back to radeon ### About both (radeon and radeonhd):: Can either one of both drivers be fixed? The radeon driver had worked really good also regarding videodrivers, until this update arrived..... I appereciate your Help very much and i am looking forward in hearing from you soon! Please fix this if you can. Many Thanks! Greetings from Germany, Matthias PS.: I am going to attach my xorg.conf for "radeon" here which worked really good until this Update arrived. </body></html>
