Hi, I am using Debian Sid with Radeon 9200. Recently i Upgraded system with new version of fglrx driver and never version of mplayer. Before upgrade it worked smoothly. After upgrade I got a message during mplayer startup: [gl] could not aquire buffer for dr Expect a _major_ speed penalty and mplayer slowed down dramatically. Do you have any idea what may be the cause of this problem? How should look preferences of mplayer for fglrx driver? There are two gl drivers available: gl and gl2 The situation is the same for both of them I have also checked: Enable double buffering, Enable direct rendering, Enable frame dropping .

From the driver perspective all looks fine because gl benchmarks runs with the same performance as they used to. It seems like mplayer problem.

Any help appreciated. Please reply also directly as I am not on the list. Thanks. All the best, DP
