Re: KWin effects & video playback

It isn't FUD. You do get messed up video playback with some drivers/driver versions (and Xgl versions if you're using Xgl) while running a GL compositor. It isn't the fault of Beryl/Compiz/any other, but because of problems with the drivers/Xgl (I don't think AIGLX every had an problems directly because of it).

Fglrx is probably the worst offender here (the driver's quality is HORRIBLE! I dare say the quality is non-existant!). Fortunately I believe the OSS 'ati' driver is in the process of adding support for the newer ATI cards (like my X300, which is a piece of junk, I think my old Radeon 7500 was faster!).

Please stop throwing around the claim that something is 'FUD' whenever you don't like it. All you're doing is making people not give a rats ass when groups actually DO spread FUD (don't forget the story of the boy who cried wolf, people seem to forget that way too often...).
