Hello friends

Videos are running very smoothly in GNOME 3 but not in KDE, i do not wanna use GNOME
These are problems while Watching videos in KDE :
1 . Horizontal Lines accross the laptop screen
2. Very chopy video

System configuration
Intel i5 2.4 Ghz HD 3000 (no nvidia graphic card)
Fedora 17 KDE 4.8 version

Any Help
Thanks

some additional info may help
- what video player(s)?
- what type(s) of video?
- if you use the same player as in Gnome does it help?
- what output driver are you using (found in the player's preferences)

if you disable composting alt+shift+F12 does it help?

which Intel drivers?

Sorry guys , same problem in GNOME

Video Player = VLC
Video Type = Movie.avi , size 1.5 GB
Output Driver = OpenGL (I tried all)

Drivers and Library :
xorg-X11-drv-intel-2.19.0.1
libdrm
mesa = all packages

Please Any suggestion

Thankx

there is a 2.20.x intel driver series see if you you can find and install it

try a different player, sMplayer is also real good

do you have this issue with non .avi files? other avi files?

if you disable composting alt+shift+F12 does it help?

Ok now i installed xorg-x11-drv-intel-devel-2.20.5
I already tried smplayer
I have same issue with non avi files
i also disable composting with alt+shift+F12

Some clarity and smoothness is increased

But original problem still persist , Horizontal Lines across the laptop screen on these positions
1. Top
2. Center

I do not wanna go to on windows again please help
Thank'x

I have not tested the solution, just found a possible method here.

Code: Select all

kdesu kwrite /etc/environment

add lines:

CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling
CLUTTER_VBLANK=True

save and reboot

Detailed description of the bug can be found here.

Above settings did not work

But i noticed one thing that is :

this option i915_enable_rc6:-1 must be enable according to fedora 17 but i did not see any configuration file and settings to set these parameters

Sorry guys about this core truth

I am using Linux for 3 years , i think linux is only for security , i mean internet servers,hacking like stuff but it is not suitable for graphics like stuff

Only 20 - 25 % persons donates to open source community so How we can expect graphics (pure 3D )from Linux .

I am trying to solve this issue for 4 mounths but not succeded .

Sorry Linux , now i will have to move on to windows

Find it strange that others aren't posting this problem as it's not that unusual a hw setup, did you as on Fedora?
