Hi,
I’m using openSUSE 11.4 64x KDE 4.7 with Intel graphics.
What I recently noticed was that whenever I have some KDE desktop effects showing WITH video playing, the sound is find, but the video playback becomes really sluggish.
For example, now I’m watching something with Banshee (I tried this with umplayer, smplayer, vlc, etc) and if I hover my cursor on the taskbar so the windows preview is showing, then the video on Banshee becomes sluggish. This is really bad when I have the Blur effect on - with Blur, it even happens when Lancelot window is on. With Blur turned off, it does not happen with Lancelot, but it happens with the preview.
