amd catalyst question/issue

[Swansen]

mageia 4 fresh install, amd fusion c-60 netbook. I had Intel atom netbook with the onboard video and it would play 480p fine, and my current configuration should play 'HD' resolutions, however thats not the case. video codec being used doesn't seem to make a difference either, as far as which file type is being played. At 480p video is choppy and doesn't keep up with audio.

any suggestions? thanks

Please next time use code tags as explained in ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv

Seems like you are already using the proprietary fglrx driver, acceleration should be OK. Any kernel updates lately?

3.12.20, but did updates during installation(last week)

[Swansen]

well, i'm using the open sourced 'radeon' driver right now, and at least i can watch streaming 480p windowed and maximized 480p with local files. guess this is a solution-ish for the time being.
