I have a Gateway laptop with an integrated ATI graphics board. lspci |
| 2 |
detects it as: |

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon |
| 5 |
Xpress 1100 IGP] |

However when attempting to view a DVD at full screen, the display is a |
| 8 |
bit "jumpy" as if the video hardware is not fast enough. Keeping the |
| 9 |
video smaller in a window produces much better results. As you might |
| 10 |
expect, the larger the video picture, the worse the jumpiness gets. |

Results are the same with both Totem and VLC. |

I'm using x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.433 and have followed guides and |
| 14 |
verified direct rendering is enabled (however I don't know if that |
| 15 |
matters for displaying video). |

Is this the best I can expect for this video hardware? I can post my |
| 18 |
xorg.conf if there's a possibility that some tweak will improve performance. |
