Fix for video tearing ATI Radeon HD 4200 using Catalyst Driver??

Hey guys, as the title asks, is there a fix for pretty serious video tearing that I am experiencing on my ATI Radeon HD 4200 video card? I'm using the proprietary driver (catalyst, built from AUR) and would prefer to use that one or, if need be, radeonhd driver as I need HDMI sound output.
Below is my xorg.conf.
Many many thanks in advance to anyone who may have some ideas/experience with this.

On boot ATI Radeon HD 4200 drivers fail to load. To recover, must use System Restore

I have an HP Pavilion p6737f with Windows 7 64-bit. No error message. No changes to system.
When I boot the computer it comes up to a resolution of 800 x 600 which is the "rock bottom" of the spectrum for my computer. I check the device manager and it tells me that the driver - ATI Radeon HD 4200 failed to install on boot. In order to return to normal I have to do a "System Restore" to a time that I created. Otherwise, I can't use the higher graphic settings.

Hi Tom,
Reinstall the video driver using the HP Recovery Manager (drivers only). The driver on the hard drive may be corrupted and then Windows will use the default VGA driver.

Fix for Half Life 2 & Radeon VPU Recover / Crash / Lock up...

Hi All,
Just a heads up to a fix for anyone with a Radeon who is suffering from VPU crashes in Half Life 2. From what I can gather, I think that this can occur with a number of different boards and some Nvidia users have also suffered from this... Although they just get a lock-up or a BSOD...
SYMPTOM: Half Life 2 (and CS:S) will lock up anywhere from 1 second to 30 minutes in to a game. The sound will loop continuously and, if you have VPU Recover enabled, you can ALT-TAB to Windows whereupon you will see a dialogue from VPU Recover asking whether you want to send a bug report to ATI.
Other games will run fine.
After searching around a bit, updating drivers, checking temps, running Memtest etc, etc, I have found that the following workaround will address this issue:
1) Set AGP to 4x in BIOS,
2) Disable Fast Writes.
Hope this helps any one else suffering from this issue. This was occuring with Catalyst Drivers 4.12 & 5.1...
Regards,
fM

hi Jazza!
the best explanation for this that i've seen is that there can be power drain problems in USB 2.0. drop below 500 mA running through the port and everything goes to pot. this may well explain why switching back to USB 1.1 sometimes works like a charm, and also explains why it's important to have the ipod plugged into a high powered USB port rather than a low power port.
i've seen a confirmed case of a USB connection going west after a scanner got plugged into the beast in question ... periodically i see other reports along these lines, too.

I've installed bootcamp 4.0 on my iMac 27. Everything works superb, but for playing need for speed run or battlefield 3 I need catalyst driver 11.7 or higher. How can I update my graphics? Is there a possibility except waiting for a new bootcamp version?

But how do you install the drivers if Bootcamp is running interference?
Bottom line, I'ev tried to install three different versions of updated ATI driver sover the last few momnths and on each and every occassion have ended up with the original Bootcamp driver. A number of current games are unplayable on a Mac running Bootcamp as a result.
And if I can't run the software I want, then Bootcamp is as useless as boobs on a bull.

XP Video Driver for L355D-S7815 (ATI Radeon 3100/mb integrated)

Hi guys:
I recently got a 300hd for my Toshiba and need to run all my software; which wasnt running on Vista; so I install Windows XP SP2 on my new HD.
So far all my USB, ethernet, sound, mic and other are runnind good; but when it comes to the video, is nothing but headaches and trouble.
The Toshiba website doesn't support XP, so I went to the ATI web site and found the ATI Radeon 3100. mothernboard integrated, after installatio, nothing works and gets black.
Many things I tried, and yet can't make it work, I'm only running VGA mode and I can't take advantage of my video capabilities.
I need the video ASAP, as of my software won't run on VISTA or runs with major problems.
Please, anybody with a trick or a better video driver.
Be advice my computer didnt come with any drives CD or software replacements. I download everything from the web.
Thanks

This driver should work.

Any Fix For Video Calling Since Releases of versio...

Still stuck on Verson 6.22.0.107 Due to a bug (downgrade) that was intruduced in Version 7.x
In Version 6.2 Im able to activaily join a 100+ chat group, type /golive, have people join the call and share my webcam (buttons avlilble)
In version 7.x.xxx Im able to activaily Join a 100+ chat Group, Type /golive, have people join the call but NOT share my webcam, (The buttons grayed out)
There is no reason for the latest version of skype to have webcam disabled in a large chat like this. Exspecially when the prevouse version CAN do it.
This makes my FaceRig, and ManyCam become super redundent when Im not able to use them during a large skype call.
I personally demand a fix for this or Ill be staying on version 6.22.0.107 for the rest of skype life.

Thank you for the comments so far.
The Audio MIDI Setup is (and has been) set for 44100, 2channel, 16 bit.
I've found that it apparently has to do with Quicktime 7 (I'm using 7.0.4, now) When I use QT 6 (which is what came with the install disk, and after an archive and install) The problem is not there--no stuttering of the video at all. Also, there seems to be no writing to the disk during playback in QT 6. When I upgraded to QT 7, because it's apparently needed for iLife, 06, the writing to the disk occurs during video playback. It stutters exactly when this occurs.
So, it seems to be a situation with not having enough cache to handle disk writes during playback. Does anyone know what is causing either the disk writes during playback, or, if there's a way to increase the player's cache for video playback from an internal drive?. Oh, and I am using QT Pro.
It seems I have a choice of going back to an earlier version of QT, and an earlier version of iTunes, or coming up with a way to stop the disk writing during playback. Could it be caused by the serial disk interface rather than the old standard ATA parallel interface that used to be used? Does anyone know a way to increase the QT cache (for video playback from internal drives)?
So far, I've tried:
Archive and Install of Tiger, then update to 10.4.5,
Reinstall of QT 7.0.4 from 6
Turned off Spotlight (using Terminal)
Set processor to not nap (which doesn't hold through a reboot)
Set processor to Maximum processing
Tried using only single processor
No resolution yet.

2010 Mac Pro for video work: ATI 5770 or 5870? performance vs. fan noise

I'm planning to swap my old Mac Pro (2006 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT) for a 2010 Mac Pro model, because I need more speed for video (FCP 7, Color, Magic Bullet Looks) and photo (Lightroom 3, Photo Shop CS5) work. I'm thinking of the 6-Core (3.33 GHz) Mac Pro with 24 GB RAM and ATI Radeon 5870. I read a first review which said, that the 5870 is VERY noisy (fans), and now I'm little afraid. Is the 5870 really that loud, and will it bring clear advantages over the ATI 5770 (I dont't do 3D work yet)? I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

I've got the 6-core w/5870 on order, so don't yet have it myself. I've been looking into this issue also, as noise is a concern.
This (http://techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/RadeonHD5870/29.html) test showed me that the card is pretty typical at idle, but fairly loud when loaded.
I don't expect I'll be loading my video card much with the work that I do right now, so wasn't as concerned. In the end, I guess I'll find out when my new machine arrives.

IMac and video card ATI Radeon HD 4850

Using my iMac 24"/3.06/SD with OSX 10.6 and trying to access Final Cut Express, it tells me I need an AGP video card! Why isn't the ATI Radeon HD 4850 able to display FCE? It operates all my other Apple software. Please, has anyone an idea about this?

When will there be fix for AirPrint in Yosemite? I cannot use my HP printer. I have uninstalled/resinstalled everything you can think of. I have deleted and added my printer more time than I can count. I have checked for updates. Nothing has worked.

When will there be fix for AirPrint? Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot print from my MacBook Air which I use mostly. (I can print from the my old 2005 G5 desktop and iPad2 just fine on the same network.) I could print just fine when I had Mavericks. I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun: resetting print system, deleting and adding the printer, checking for updates, uninstalling and reinstalling printer software and folders, turning off modem, router etc. NOTHING works.
The laptop shows that it is printing but nothing happens. Then it says it cannot locate the printer or there is a broken pipe. But it does tell me that I have a low level in one of the ink cartridges (which is true.)
Help! I have warned everyone I know not to upgrade. Is there a way to go back to Mavericks?

Is Apple working on a fix for ios6 that will stop it from using huge data in the iphone 4s?

When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to ios6, it started using huge amounts of data. My provider refuses to reimburse me. Today they told me that Apple has acknowledged the problem and has fixed it in ois6.3. However, ois6.3 is unavailable for the 4s, and my provider tells me that Apple has not acknowledged that the problem exists in the 4s. They referred me to Apple. However, because the phone is off warranty, I will have to pay $35 + tax to talk to an Apple rep--and surely Apple knows the problem extends to the 4s, because it is widely discussed on-line. I have not seen any reference to whether Apple is working on a fix for the 4s. Does anyone know? I can't afford this much longer and am going to have pay a lot of money to switch phones. And when I switch phones, it won't be an Apple, which will also make me sad--but it is ridiculous for them to produce a problem that is costing so much money and then not to acknowledge it exists. I am hoping that having addressed it in the 5, they will now turn to the 4s. Does anyone know?

Yeah, the 6.0.2 update was rolled out to deal with that issue amongs others. But getting it out for the older models was either not high priority or more complex than they anticipated. So the wait continues till it shows up on the update channel.
Pestering Apple Support might not get it done quicker, but at least will offer some sort of vicarious revenge and relief.

ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Mac AGP (driver needed for OS 9.2?)

Hi guys!
How's everybody doin?
I just picked up a used ATI 9000 AGP 128 MB (as an upgrade for my G4 Quicksilver 800 MHZ).
I'm using 2 HD's (one with OS9), the other (with OSX)
I think OS 9.2 will do ok without the need for a driver, but I just wanna make sure ...
Thanx
Everyone is very helpful around here
Mike

Hello again Carl, and Dave
I know it's been a while since we last talked about this issue. Well apparently, I do have OS freezing problems
with 9.2 and the ATI 9000 Mac Pro - take a look:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4289264#4289264
Wonder if your driver would solve this?
But can I put your driver in the system while it's still functioning with the older OEM video card back in?
(that's the only way I can get the system not to freeze)
Thanks
Mike

Bad video card ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 2008 early macpro?

I get the green squiggles on the screen when i connect the right hand side dvi port to a monitor. left side is fine. currently only using one dvi port port, but i am looking to upgrade to a apple 30" with the dual-dvi connection for maximum resolution.
does this indicate a possible failure of the video card?
I've only heard good things about this video card, how can i tell for certain?
might'n it be time to put in a newer video card that'd run the 27" Apple LED if that were the case?

After 4 years, my 2008 Mac Pro just experienced a grey screen, then black screen failure with the ATI 2600XT graphics card ... the usual troubleshooting methods pointed to a hardware problem.
Using the info on TS3630 from the link above, I determined the card's serial number was among those affected. I went to the Apple store this weekend, and they swapped the bad card for a good replacement at no cost to me. So, as of Sept. 2012, they are still honoring the replacement program.
Be sure to bring a copy of the tech doc + all your pertinent system info (the store was not aware of the program until I showed them the document). Also, do check in advance whether they have the replacement in stock ... I was lucky that my local store did, otherwise, they have to order and you'll need top make a return trip as they will not ship the replacement card to you.
kudos to Apple for handling this so well after all this time!

Fix for video like Comedy Central not playing on MacBook Pro

MacBook Pro has stopped playing streaming video from a number of websites, e.g. Comedy Central.
Spinner spins then stops and player window is black.
Have latest Flash player.
Have tried different ISP connections.
Have tried different browsers.
Rebooted numerous times.
Removed excess plugs from browsers.
Have tried wired and wireless.
Still not playing video from a number of websites, e.g. Comedy Central.
Any suggestions? Highly frustrated at moment as I have no TV and was relying on my MacBook for entertainment.
Thanks...Stephen

Solution for me was to 'Allow third party Flash content to store data on your computer' on the Global Storage settings panel:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager03.html
Way creepy that comedy central requires this to be enabled to let you play their video. If you clear all your local flash data and then enable the third party storage and hit CC, you'll see new flash cookes from two domains: media.mtvnservices.com and secure-us.imrworldwide.com. I turn the above setting on just to watch clips on CC, then turn it back off and clear all the flash cookies. Probably not that important to do so, but it isn't too bad.
