Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
For my MSI GT430 (nvidia) graphics card I am using |
| 4 |
the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-260.19.29. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
But there seems to be something wrong: |
| 7 |
When playing videos with faster movements |
| 8 |
I see heavy distortions around these parts |
| 9 |
of the screen. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Previously I fixed this for another nvidia |
| 12 |
card by enabling different sync options |
| 13 |
in the nvidia-setting dialog and was happy |
| 14 |
that these distortion dont come back, when |
| 15 |
I switched to this newer card. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Now: There're back despite my hopes... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I started glxgears and got this output |
| 20 |
on the console: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be |
| 23 |
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. |
| 24 |
74062 frames in 5.0 seconds = 14812.268 FPS |
| 25 |
77502 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15500.350 FPS |
| 26 |
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" |
| 27 |
after 57 requests (57 known processed) with 0 events remaining. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
The second sentence say, that there is a syncing active and will get |
| 31 |
the refresh rate of the monitor (a LCD screen) back. This wouild be |
| 32 |
around 60Hz as far as I know. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
And then, the measurements show 15500.350 FPS... |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Which slightl above 60 Hz.... |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
To sync or not to sync, that seems to be the question... |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
By the way: Distortion can be watched as when using mplayer |
| 41 |
as with vlc. I recompiled both just to get sure, but it does |
| 42 |
not help. The machine is definetly fast enough to play videos |
| 43 |
(AMD Phenom II X6 1090T).... |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
How can I get back the undistorted screen? |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help ! |
| 48 |
Best regards, |
