Benson, Thank you for that information. However, I don't use fglrx, I've always used the radeon drivers that come standard in Fedora. > [basilgohar@alpha ~]$ lsmod | grep radeon > radeon 1507328 9 > i2c_algo_bit 16384 1 radeon > drm_kms_helper 143360 1 radeon > ttm 90112 1 radeon > drm 339968 12 ttm,drm_kms_helper,radeon So, unless that issue also means standard open-source kernel drivers are lacking support for the kernel used in F24 (which would seem really very odd), then that particular issue is probably not the reason for my slow video. -- Libre Video http://librevideo.org -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
