I've never had a problem running mplayer on ATI video cards with the free driver. My main desktop machine has a ~2500*1400 resolution screen and I play video full screen without any problems. So far the only problem I've had with playing video on a system with an AMD64 CPU is when playing 4K video. FullHD video works fine on NVidia cards with the Nouveau driver and on ATI cards. The only video problems I have on any of the systems I run concern a system with an NVidia card that won't run steam and which crashes when running Minecraft. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
