Dear Debian users,
I installed lenny on a new system last week. Without changing anything,
the xserver started successfully. (Thanks!) But direct rendering was
disabled. (No surprise there.) Regardless DVD/video playback was
satisfactory using totem-xine. However it was desirable to try to get
direct rendering working for all sorts of reasons so I:
1. installed fglrx-driver and fglrx-kernel-src
2. used module-assistant to build and install the fglrx module
3. used aticonfig to update xorg.conf
When I restarted the xserver, direct rendering was indeed enabled but
DVD/video playback now "stutters" every minute or so. Also, when my
kids play "Extreme Tux Racer" the video stutters in a similar fashion.
The other problem I have, regardless of the video driver, is that the
xserver crashes in certain situations:
1. switching users via the User switcher applet; or
2. if the screensaver puts the display to sleep
By "crash" I mean no video and no keyboard so must reboot.
My kernel is:
Linux mozart 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Thu Aug 28 12:00:54 UTC 2008 i686
and I have included my xorg.conf and lspci info below.
I'd be grateful for any help or suggestions.
Regards,
Nick
