Hi, I recently bought a flat panel tv to use as a movie monitor. I currently have an Geforce 7900 series card and I can either get vsync or 24 Hz, using both causes severe, random stuttering in the video where the playback jumps to previous frames, then goes back and the same jumping repeats for some time. Sometimes the video plays nice for quite a long time and sometimes it becomes totally jerky for several seconds. Doing something that affects the video, like switching fullscreen on/off or seeking often aggravates the problem. Seems like some kind of race condition bug to me. This stuttering is accompanied by high cpu usage by the xorg process unless UseEvents="1" is set in xorg.conf. Then there's only the stuttering.
Can any nvidia user confirm not having this problem? It's important to have working vsync to make it appear (not too easy, unfortunately, especially with compositors and the crappy twinview hack nvidia drivers use). Also, if anyone has had this problem and found a solution, I'd be happy to hear it.
There's also a thread about it here, although without solutions: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=106409
If there's no way to fix this, how's xv + vsync on the ati side these days?
