Tried these options? aticonfig --ovt Xv (opengl or disable) aticonfig --sync-vsync=off and this option looks interesting : --sync-video see aticonfig --help for other tweaks, but I am not optimistic about these drivers performance, 8.43 are even worst than this one, may be I'll give it a try once more later. Firstly, I am not a leading developer :) I do not contribute any actual code to the project.

Tried these options?

aticonfig –ovt Xv (opengl or disable)
aticonfig –sync-vsync=off

and this option looks interesting : –sync-video

see aticonfig –help for other tweaks, but I am not optimistic about these drivers performance, 8.43 are even worst than this one, may be I’ll give it a try once more later.

Apart from the well known fact of slow, though quite usable, desktop, there is one problem I am unable to resolve. Perhaps you, as a leading Compiz developer, can assit me (us) or some clues. The problem lies with playback of video (such as movies) as well as viewing video feedback from my own webcam. Guessed this has to do something with Xv/X11 and related. I tried Xv/opengl in Kaffeine = no go Tried xshm with Kaff = works, but very slow in full screen Tried X11 with mplayer (mplayer x11 vo filename) = slow in full screen No video on Skype/other webcam related apps Basically it is impossible to watch videos :( So, what do you think can be the problem or issue. I checked here and there with no avail. I have made couple of posts on my blog regarding installing 8.42 and Compiz Fusion via AIGLX.

I installed the ATI driver from the suse depo together with the x11 kernel update, rebooted and system came up like as it would work fine. On checking by fglrxinfo i found the mesa driver as expected. Rebooting again but in runlvl 3 this time and typed the "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx" to let the xorg.conf be modified by sax2. Now comes the clue with typing the aticonfig command from cyberborg, written above and never touched sax2 again. Restarting x by Strg+Alt+Backspace, init up to 5 and..... BINGO - IT WORKS like a charme !! Running fgl_glxgears with 3000+ fps. But than, as i activated the 3d desktop gimic from the command center x restarted again and i got "freq out of range" on my screen *bleee* Maybe some1 of you has a clue why? I want the 3d desktop so hard ;) Greez TB Hey all,

Any inputs on this ???

The installer from the YAST repo does work! I continually got a crash when trying to run either Sax2, or trying to load the desktop with the ATICONFIG defaults. Disabled Both AGP Fast write, Fast Read, Read syncronisation in the BIOS, and changed the AGP aperture size to 8mb - and now it works BEAUTIFULLY! Many hours wasted on this - but now I'm HAPPY! WOW!
