Twinkikabuki Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I like some others have the problem of having painfully slow Quartz Extreme on my supported ati (9600pro), on a nForce3 250GB mobo... Yes, yes, known issue. And it seems to be singled down to the chipset not playing well with ati or sumething... Disabling QE with the Debugger works, but workaround is better still... A workaround I've been using is to cripple the 9700GA bundle by removing the 'ACCF....' line in the plist... This gives me psuedo-quartz, I've got the quartz screensavers, and divx in quicktime isn't green, vlc is purple w/o quartz checked, but no 3d with this... and sometimes have to flip a widget in the dashboard to 'start' QE... No user-switch cube, and the widgets don't flip, but instead flashes where the flip would be. I've tried everything I can think of... which brings me to this post... I need suggestions as to what to try. OH! I don't know if it's related, but DVD Player works fine, but everything is drowned out by a solid green color, I'm curious as to what this is exactly.

kossi Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I don't want to destroy your illusion about fast QE on this hardware combination. But I had the same hardware and didn't get it to work properly. Indipendently from this problem I hat some strange issues under linux. I took the proprietary driver from ati for my 9600pro to let it run under linux. And whatever driver version I took... always the same problem... whatever kernel version I took... same {censored} --> 3d support worked as long as I shut down my pc and restarted linux. From this point 3d support was gone. This problem wasn't only present on archlinux or gentoo... no, every distribution I took resulted in the same curios issue. So I think it's kind of a hardware conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
