Hi, For my MSI GT430 (nvidia) graphics card I am using the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-260.19.29.
But there seems to be something wrong: When playing videos with faster movements I see heavy distortions around these parts of the screen. Previously I fixed this for another nvidia card by enabling different sync options in the nvidia-setting dialog and was happy that these distortion dont come back, when I switched to this newer card. Now: There're back despite my hopes... I started glxgears and got this output on the console: Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. 74062 frames in 5.0 seconds = 14812.268 FPS 77502 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15500.350 FPS XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 57 requests (57 known processed) with 0 events remaining. The second sentence say, that there is a syncing active and will get the refresh rate of the monitor (a LCD screen) back. This wouild be around 60Hz as far as I know. And then, the measurements show 15500.350 FPS... Which slightl above 60 Hz.... To sync or not to sync, that seems to be the question... By the way: Distortion can be watched as when using mplayer as with vlc. I recompiled both just to get sure, but it does not help. The machine is definetly fast enough to play videos (AMD Phenom II X6 1090T).... How can I get back the undistorted screen? Thank you very much in advance for any help ! Best regards, mcc
