Choppy video when compiz is active.

[Digital Ninja <shawn.beasley@freenet.de>]

Dear List,

I have a problem, where I am not sure if I am missing a module, or have
an xorg.conf issue. I am using an Radeon X1400 video card in my laptop
(Lenovo R60) I have compiz up and running, and seem to have no other
issues. When I start a video while compiz is running, then the video is
very choppy. During cube rotate or when moving the normalized window,
the video blinks and is almost full screen. I have tried to submit this
question to the xorg list, but am having technical difficulties getting
my mail posted.

Here is some info, that I hope will be helpful in finding the error.

~$ uname -a
Linux shb-laptop 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Thu Jun 5 13:30:33 UTC 2008 i686

And the last bit of info baffles me every time.


~$ glxinfo | grep -i direct
direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)

Even though it was working for a while (That direct rendering was
enabled ) This setting just seems to keep changing. Is there something
in  my xorg.conf that is causing this. AAAAARGH! Thanks for all
responses in advance.
