    I just recently installed the ATI Radeon 9200 driver that I downloaded
    from the Suse ftp site.

    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/ATI/suse91/fglrx/3.14.6/

    While the drivers work very good, there have been all kinds of bad side
    effects.

    For one, I am no longer able to see DVDs playing correctly ( using ogle
    or mplayer ).

    (1) They play in an image that is 1/4 the screen size ( here is a
    screenshot :

    (2) someone suggested using the "-vo sdl" switch, but at that point the
    DVD plays jerkily and slow. This reminded me of the way it
    played before I configured my DMA settings. But when I launched
    Control Center to configure my DMA settings, an alert popped up
    saying

    "No compatible disk controller found".

    Before installing the ATI driver I was able to configure the DMA settings.

    (3) I cannot configure my mouse to be left handed. When I try to
    configure that via Control Center, the left/right handed radio button is
    greyed out. I have to run a line command, using xmodmap. But I have
    to run it each time I sign on ( and I dual boot, so I sign on a
    lot ).

    No virus found in this outgoing message.
