choppier in 0.2.91

[Jeremy Bailin]

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I'd upgraded a number of things on my 
laptop including RH 7.1->7.2, XFree 4.0.3->4.1.0 and vlc 0.2.82->0.2.91 
and noticed that the video was choppier but I didn't know which component 
was the problem.

I'd assumed it was XFree, since I've had other problems with 4.1.0 and 
will probably downgrade soon anyway, but by reinstalling vlc 0.2.82 from 
my old rpm I've discovered that it was at fault - with vlc 0.2.82 and the 
rest of the system unchanged, the video is smooth again.

This is on a Dell Inspiron 4000 with an ATI Rage Mobility 128. A couple of 
other people were recently mentioning decreased video performance in 
0.2.91 - what video cards do you have? What versions of X are you running? 
There's probably something useful in there for the videolan team...
