playing video on Fedora 19
Hello I have problems playing video on fedora 19. I have switchable graphics Intel/ATI (AMD Radeon HD 7500M/7600M Series). It´s HP ProBook 4540s.
I´ve installed proprietary ATI drivers, version 13.6 Beta, which should be the latest and only driver that works with fedora 19 as far as I know.
I installed VLC from RPMFusion and also mplayer. Video is choppy(I´m not sure if it´s the right expression, sorry for my English ;-)) in both of them. It´s a little better when playing videos with lower resolution, but still bad enough.
Strange thing is that it actually improves when I switch my gpu to integrated:
aticonfig --px-igpu
I also tried it on live ubuntu 13.04, booted from USB, installed VLC, GPU was shown as Intel Ivybridge mobile and video runs just fine, without any problems.
I also tried this with fedora live usb, booted, installed vlc, gpu shown was Intel Ivybridge mobile and lower resolution videos seemed to be fine, but HD videos was choppy again :-(
Does anyone has some solution to this?
I will have to check for the first one.
NO, RPMFusion drivers obviously don´t work with fedora 19 (at least ATI´s)
Yes, nothing helps.
About “NO, RPMFusion drivers obviously don´t work with fedora 19”: I don't think that its obvious at all. I never had any problems with the drivers from RPMFusion. Though I must admit, that I don't have a f19 system with an AMD graphics card. But I just checked and “kmod-catalyst” is in the rpmfusion-nonfree repository.
The rpmfusion drivers are just ATI drivers in rpm form. If the drivers don't work for you, it's because AMD doesn't support the current X version well enough. It's a known issue.
You´re right, the only drivers that support X version in fedora 19, are 13.6 Beta. Anyway as you said they are just bundled proprietary drivers, so I see no point in talking about whether I have those from rpmfusion or directly from AMD.
