xv problem with fglrx on ubuntu feisty

[jasonxh]

Using the latest versions (from 8.34 up to 8.39) of fglrx from ATI on feisty gives very poor xv video quality, most apparently video tearing and non-smoothness. Stock fglrx version (8.34.8) from ubuntu repo doesn't have this problem, but it sometimes crashes X server when using xv! However everything seems fine when running on Xgl, so could it be a (fglrx,xorg7.2) problem?

I've searched for solutions for quite some time now, yet with no progress. I even haven't found anyone reporting the same problem...

BTW, I'm using a thinkpad t60 with x1300.

I currently use 8.38 on Debian with a X1300 card.

Xv video is really bad:

• video tearing
• sometimes jerkiness as if 2 frames are displayed in the wrong order

In gl or gl2 mode, I only noticed video tearing.

gl works fine for me, but gl2 doesn't work at all... A little bit tearing though, but far more acceptable than xv.

finally someone confirms me.
