Recently I've been trying to get xvidcap/recordmydesktop/every other screencasting software that supports sound to function well enough to be able to record dosbox games running at 640x480. I have an HD4890, 8 gig of ram, Phenom II X4 955 black edition (3.2 ghz quad core), one would think it could record 640x480 video with a dosbox game playing, but it can't. recordmydesktop makes dosbox studder/lag like crazy, xvidcap almost works, it records at 15fps except during any "demanding sceens" like fades, but messes up the sound a bit and crashes randomly (supposedly a bug with xcb).
Would the 2d acceleration in radeonhd help programs like xvidcap/recordmydesktop? I'm currently using cat 10.2 (I haven't tried enabling direct2d... yet) with Opensuse 11.1 upgraded to KDE 4.4. Which leads me to my next question.
Anyone know the best way to upgrade the radeonhd driver on Opensuse 11.1? The newest one in the repositories is 1.2.4, which is just old enough to not support 2d accel on r7XX cards. I was planning on following the installation instructions on the x.org page, but if there's an easier way.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to improving performance, like any xorg.conf settings for fglrx, in xvidcap/recordmydesktop, feel free to suggest away.
Thanks
