This used to happen to me under FC1; I only have a hint as to what it
is- I'm not an X programmer (maybe this post will inspire someone who
DOES know to comment).
There's an X setting...sHm or Xshm? Some little TLA that was once
optional, then came standard, on Fedora systems. I'll look into the
preferences and see what I have...
There it is. There's a preference for Gstreamer settings...don't know
how/if this relates to the standard KDE setup...it's Xv. Having that
specified helped a _lot_ with such problems.
If this isn't enough clue to get ya started, let me know offlist and
I'll send you a copy of my X setup so you can get the details, and
anything else you might need.
I once used a machine I called "Hydra" with a set of screens on that
same mga driver. For $120 I got three, 19" sync-on-green screens,
cables, video cards and everything. THAT was fun, though I couldn't
play OpenGL things. Being able to harness that much real estate was a
blast! I hope you're having as much fun, on yours.

Eau Claire, aye? Beauty. I've not been there in many, many, many
moons. We went to the Dells several times back in our heyday; the snow,
the trees, the german shepard on the rock...I sure hope I get back up
there one of these days.
Cheers!
