hello,
I bought myself a new laptop, an asus a8sr, I got about everything working with it, I just have an incredibly annoying problem:
with whatever driver I am using (fglrx, radeon, radeonhd, and vesa) whatever distribution (I tried Kubuntu, arch and gentoo), whatever different versions of xorg (1.3.0 and 1.4.0.90), various different xorg.conf configurations, I get incredibly disturbing (but discrete) horizontal tearing while watching videos (especially when there is a lot of movement). I though it was a hardware related issue at first, so I reinstalled vista to check if I would get the same thing, but I experienced no such thing under vista.
I don't guess I am the first to get that, so if anyone has found a solution, please post it. Considering there is no way I am going to use vista, I need to get that working fine, because without that my computer is as good as trash.
Thank you in advance.
