One of our corporate clients recently reported to us that 30 MX4000 video cards were not displaying video correctly. Video playback would be choppy and intermittent, and yet I cannot find anything to be wrong with these cards.
The systems are coin-driven electronic jukeboxes, running Zymeta. The core of these systems uses the following hardware configuration:
Asus A7N8X-VM
AMD Sempron 2600+ CPU
256MB PC2700
MSI GeForce4 MX4000
As mentioned in the title, they are using a customized version of a Gentoo Stage 2 install to load the Zymeta program. I have no clue what version the kernel is nor if they are using the Nvidia GLX driver. I don't even know what kind of video codec is used to play their advertising promo's. All I know is that I can take these video cards to any Windows XP system and play DVD's, XviD/DivX, and OGM files without having any problems.
The client blames the video cards, yet demands that a solution be found using Linux. Has anyone found such problems occuring in Gentoo with such a configuration?
