hi guys i recently did an upgrade from opensuse 11.2 to opensuse 11.3 everything went well but now it seem i have graphics issue . i have old nvidia fx 5200 and a samsung 22 inch monitor
i i tried using mplayer to watch videos but it wouldn't allow me to maximize the video it would just turn black with audio
all my media players including vlc have been giving me this error .
i have now run kaffeine from terminal and get an error

Minor opcode: 19 (Unknown request)
Resource id: 0x14b
X Error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) 11
Extension: 133 (Uknown extension)
Minor opcode: 19 (Unknown request)
Resource id: 0x14b
 
Try this on the terminal:

mplayer file_name -vo help

This will give you a list of available video-out devices. xv is the one you would normally want to use. Now try:

mplayer file_name -vo xv

If this works, you just have to find a way to configure your apps to use xv. If it doesn't, do the same routine and go through the list, see what works, if anything.
 
i tried that even with mplayer and i get dropped frames on fast scenes
 
yes i have i think my gfx card is failing i got nvidia 5200 and its hard to find agp cards now a days when using the x11 output works but there is alot of frame drops
 
What does glxgears report?
This will show you if there are irregularities regarding frame rate.
 
Might be worth upgrading your motherboard/CPU then. If you're on a budget, an mATX board with integrated graphics might be worth a look at. I picked up one of these. It has GeForce 8200 graphics, which supports the new hardware decoding of x264 video (really nice - plays 1080p video with about 5% cpu usage) and has PCIe slots for when you want to upgrade.

thats my glx gears

reason y i think its graphics card is cause even in windows i get funny lines when playing back videos full screen my monitors resolution is 1680x 1050
i do wanna upgrade but i am a bit pressed for cash at the moment thanx though for your help
 
This also happened to me recently on Ubuntu Lucid (with a 7600GT). Restarting X (logging out and back in) solved the problem and I'm betting it's a driver bug or something similar.

By the way, you can see stderr output from X apps in ~/.xsession-errors.

Esquire has AGP cards in stock if you need one.
 
thanx ponder i got one from esquire there are some improvements

No way directed at you wezhira, but I think I should mention the following:

Glxgears is in no way a benchmark utility, do not forget that.
It's use it to see if direct rendering is working and like I said, to see when the frame rates go wonky. Since it does not put excessive load on the gfx card to tax it to it's limits you cannot take the output as a benchmark to test even with similar cards.
There is a huge shortage of good 3D benchmarking utilities in Linux, we usually just fire up a FPS and see what the fps is like on various settings.

What you are looking for when using glxgears is:
Is it working - direct rendering is working ( you could also use glxinfo | grep rendering - I just like the gears spinning)
Are you getting better and more consistent frame rates.
 
thanx myworld i do know that its just i was trying to point out an improvement in my system
