I recently switched to ati-drivers (fglrx) because some of my games won't run smoothly with mesa and xf86-video-ati. Because of https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391193 I switched mplayer2 to -vo gl. To my surprise, the result was as shown in this screencast I took: http://vimeo.com/34623273 Nevermind mplayer saying my system was too slow: What you can see is that the video plays smoothly as long as I keep moving the mouse around. As soon as I stop, it won't play anymore. The same happens to an ogre3d-based program I happend to have lying around, and I assume I'd get the same results with any opengl App I'd test. I'm using x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.2-r2 and x11-drivers/ati-drivers-11.11 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge x11-drivers/ati-drivers-11.11 2.eselect opengl set ati 3.fire up mplayer2 -vo gl 4.move mouse around Actual Results: The video plays smoothly as long as I keep moving the mouse and stops playing when I don't move. Expected Results: Mplayer2 plays video independently of mouse movement emerge --info Portage 2.1.10.41 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.6.2, glibc-2.13-r4, 3.1.6-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.1.6-gentoo-x86_64-AMD_Turion-tm-_II_Neo_K685_Dual-Core_Processor-with-gentoo-2.0.3 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 03 Jan 2012 12:15:02 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.7.2-r3, 3.1.4-r3, 3.2.2 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.4-r1 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.26 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.3 sys-apps/openrc: 0.9.4 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.68 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.22-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.6.2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r1 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r1 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 2.6.39 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.13-r4 Repositories: gentoo calculate scarabeus_local_overlay rion java-overlay gamerlay-stable voyageur x-portage ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=amdfam10 -fplugin=/usr/local/lib/dragonegg.so" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/dconf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=amdfam10 -fplugin=/usr/local/lib/dragonegg.so" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mneisen.org/ http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/calculate /var/lib/layman/scarabeus /var/lib/layman/rion /var/lib/layman/java-overlay /var/lib/layman/gamerlay /var/lib/layman/voyageur /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync10.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X acl alsa amd64 berkdb bluetooth bzip2 cli cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dnotify dri ffmpeg flac fortran gdbm gif gtk iconv icu inotify jpeg mmx mmxext modules mp3 mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcre png pppd pyhton3 qt4 readline session sse sse2 sse4a ssl sysfs tcpd tiff udev unicode utf-8 v4l2 vorbis x264 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan stage tables krita karbon braindump" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en de" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" SANE_BACKENDS="plustek" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fglrx" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Maybe it is an interrupt issue. What happens if you boot with pci=nomsi kernel parameter?
correction: This problem ocurrs with ati-drivers-11.12, not 11.11. I have to try the pci=nomsi option with 11.12 yet
further inspection revealed that I forgot to deactivate DRM in the Kernel, which the ebuild already warns about at build time. Nevermind the bug report ^^
(In reply to comment #3) > further inspection revealed that I forgot to deactivate DRM in the Kernel, > which the ebuild already warns about at build time. Nevermind the bug report ^^ So does it work disabling DRM? Here mplayer2 works as expected, i always use it to watch movies.
Yes, disableing DRM fixed the problem.
Ok I'm glad it works then :)
