i just installed ATI catalyst 8.7 drivers on my pc running opensuse 11.now when i try to play any videos in kaffeine or vlc,all i can see is a blank screen while the audio is running.i tried to change a few setting but nothing changed.
what setting do i have to change??
You will need to edit the xorg.conf file on your system
change or add this line and try it
Section “Extensions”
Option “Composite” “false”
EndSection
there are a few other setting you can try over in the Ati how toif it doesn’t work as well.
BTw I also suggest having VLC as your default player as after you install the ati drivers kaffine and a few others seem to render very slow in full screen mode but worked fine with the default drivers, not sure why.
In addition to torphoto’s suggestion, take a look at the output video mode in those applications, and try other settings rather than xv(xvideo)/auto. ie. try “x11” or “xshm”.
VLC-preferences-advanced options- video-filters-clone-video output modules-x11-save
double-clicking the left mouse button when play movie, right button-subtitles track-select :rolleyes:
Thanks! I was having same problems. Setting composite to “false” in xorg.conf also got Google Earth working for me. Great!
