GMA 950 playing video seems vsync is down

user · July 17, 2008, 7:09am

Hi,

i have a laptop hp nx7400 with gma 950 onboard graphic card.

i’m using opensuse 11.0 X86_64, i have an issue while playing video, this issue was also present in 10.2 and 10.3.

when i play a video, it seems the vsync is down, in fast action i can see the top of the screen being refreshed before the rest of the image thus creating a visible line exactly as when you play 3D games with vsync disabled.

does someone know how to fix that?

it’s on all players so it’s not mplayer’s fault.

thanks in advance.
