    ATI driver - problem with video

    Hi,
    I have a problem with playing video on my Lucid Lynx. I installed drivers for graphic card (via built-in hardware manager). My drivers are for ATI 4500 Series, but manufacturer said I have ATI 4350.

    Problem is:
    When I play video, sometimes (during action scenes) I have horizontal stripes on the screen. Like lagging, but it's not because of hw performance.

    With open drivers it works fine, but games are unplayable.

    Thanks for help.

    Have you installed ATI proprietary driver?
    Open Terminal and execute this
    Code:
    lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Isn't the problem in codecs? Full HD videos on youtube are without stripes...

    It's using correct driver to ATI Card.
    Is it a problem while playing videos only?
    Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here.

    It was during the "3D cube rotation" too, but when I set "wait for vertical refresh" (in Catalyst Control Center) on "always" it's good - but in videos tearing is permanently.

    xorg.conf:
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
    Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
    EndSection

    Section "Files"
    EndSection

    Section "Module"
    EndSection

    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
    Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
    Option "DPMS" "true"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    Driver "fglrx"
    Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on"
    Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
    Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 24
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
