You should demonstrate that your xorg.conf is referencing the 
appropriate ATi driver.


Stroller.
Thank you for your reply.  I'm not sure how to demonstrate other that 
pasting the relevant section xorg log:


(II) LoadModule: fglrx
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
(II) Module fglrx: vendor=FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc.
   compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.43.2
   Module class: X.Org Video Driver

Is this sufficient?

Thanks,

Drew

I have a Gateway laptop with an integrated ATI graphics board.  lspci
detects it as:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon
Xpress 1100 IGP]

However when attempting to view a DVD at full screen, the display is a
bit jumpy as if the video hardware is not fast enough.  Keeping the
video smaller in a window produces much better results.  As you might
expect, the larger the video picture, the worse the jumpiness gets.
Results are the same with both Totem and VLC.

I'm using x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.433 and have followed guides and

Hi!

I have this problem but i have another ATI inegrated card
(01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon
Xpress 200M])

The solution is the next:
- use fglrx (you have to test the 3D rendering with fgl_fglxgears command)
- use mplayer with -vo gl or -vo gl2 option (the gl and gl2 is opengl
video output)
  
I have fglrx and verified it works.  I have not tried mplayer. Does 
mplayer work better than other players?

I hope i can help you.

András

ps.: sorry my english :)
  

Your English is good.

Thanks,

Drew

My opinion the mplayer is the best media player.
I tryed gxine, vlc but the mplayer is the best for me. Look the man
page (i think this is really big)  and you will see the options.
