I can’t watch anything related to videos in full screen… Image is tearing and it is not possible to watch. I tried to tweak it over AMD control panel, but without success… Did anyone meet that kind of problem?
You should at least tell which program you use to watch those videos. There are many video watching programs available in Linux.
sorry… streaming videos through firefox browser
One speculative attempt to try is to try setup for Tear Free Rendering … I note Arch Linux have a Catalyst wiki with advice: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMD_Catalyst#Tear_Free_Rendering where I quote from that wiki :
===
Presented in Catalyst 11.1, the Tear Free Desktop feature reduces tearing in 2D, 3D and video applications. This likely adds triple-buffering and v-sync. Do note that it requires additional GPU processing.
To enable ‘Tear Free Desktop’ run amdcccle and go to: Display Options → Tear Free.
Or as root run:
**# aticonfig --set-pcs-u32=DDX,EnableTearFreeDesktop,1 **
To disable, again use amdcccle or run as root:
**# aticonfig --del-pcs-key=DDX,EnableTearFreeDesktop
**===
If it does not work, then I recommend you use the ‘disable’ step noted above
it is so strange… with opera, videos are running smoothly, but with firefox and chromium it is a pure disaster!
In the chance that this is Flash related did you try disabling acceleration in flash ?
how do i do that?
When the flash video is playing, move your mouse cursor over the video => right click > settings > and delselect the hardware acceleration.
no, that’s not the problem… i tried but no success!
Just to note, I have found the problem. It was when I turned off graphical effects. When I turned on, everything worked normal… I don’t know why is this happening, but it is happening…
