(SOLVED) Youtube Videos Stutters then crashes
« on: July 12, 2012, 07:53:25 PM »
 I have went through the ATI FGLRX setup successfully and came back into Tiny Core with a much better resolution compared to what i basically had with Xvesa. I have tried Xorg-7.5 and Xorg-7.6 with the ATI FGLRX setup and have only noticed a slight smoother boost difference in Xorg-7.6 compared to X-org7.5 which was recommended. I still get stutter then a lockup after watching a youtube video @480P, 720P or 1080P full screen only in only a few seconds with either Xorg7.5 or Xorg7.6. I have read through Xorg 7.5 documents and didn't see my card being supported but again i'm still getting the same results in Xorg 7.6 when it does have support for my card. So it must be some configuration i have to manually do which i still haven't managed to understand at this point since i've been a Windows user for over a decade and Tiny Core is pretty new to me. So far i only know how to get sound, browser, and other extensions working. I've only been using Tiny Core for just a few months and this is actually my second time trying to get this ATI card working since i got tired of using Xvesa. Below i have pasted my Xorg.conf which fglrx seems to be using at the moment and also my computer specs, thank you.

I had no problem finding this Xorg.0.log, but i have no idea where the output of fglrxinfo is located unless you wanted me to just go into the terminal and type in fglrxinfo which i have done for you below?

display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.2.11631 Compatibility Profile Context

The initial post might potentially let a reader draw following conclusions:

1. That if a user would not be satisfied with the default Xvesa server, then Xorg would be the only alternative.
2. That when using Xorg with an ATI card then proprietary drivers would be a requirement.

Neither 1. nor 2. applies.

     I have already used Xorg 7.5 and the stuttering seems to be not just at full screen, but also on small and large screen as well which i didn't mention in my first post. Is there anything else i can use other than Xorg at this point? I've also checked my video card clocks and they seem to be working when running a youtube video by switching to 3D clocks from 2D.

It could always be buggy Flash, and with no new versions coming, out of luck if it is.

             Okay, so i was browsing around the site today and noticed some people talking about the xf86-video extension. So i got a new installed Tiny Core 4.5.6 again from scratch on this flash drive along with OSS.tcz, Firefox.tcz as "Download only" and the Getflash11 as "Onboot" and saved. So what i did was after a reboot from that point i just CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE into the console and ran the commands tce-load -wil xf86-video-ati.tcz and Xorg-7.6.tcz and then came back into Tiny Core with no problems. I first noticed how smooth the curser was when i loaded Firefox into Bing.com since the curser usually stuttered while it would load that page. Than i tried to minimize Firefox and didn't notice any refresh issues like i used too. Than i loaded up a youtube video at 1080P and watched it at Full screen and guess what, PERFECT. Thank you for your help

-Note: Below i have attached two files if you are interested to see, if they do differ from the ones previously posted. I do not see a Xorg.conf file but only a Xorg.conf.vesa which i have attached along with Xorg.0.log file as well.

QED!
You just confirm my hint from Reply #3 ;)

xorg.conf.vesa is irrelevant

Sure, if you want to influence anything, /etc/X11/xorg.conf needs to be created/edited..

Another win for the open radeon drivers over Catalyst ;)

Not surprised in the least (just based on empirical observation...).
