That's very strange. I would guess that either the OpenGL implementation is buggy or configured incorrectly, or VLC is doing some toolkit-specific thing to disable it.

AFAIK the only way to sync screen updates to vertical blanks in X11 is by using OpenGL, what a pain. :(

Try using the OpenGL output driver, and make sure 'wait for vertical blank' (vsync) or a similarly-worded option is enabled.

Submission + - Inventor of "MOTORAZR" Wins Domain Dispute

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Wednesday February 28, 2007 @07:48PM

An anonymous reader writes: Vincent Nguyen, who runs the phone and gadget review sites SlashPhone and SlashGear, had coined the expression MOTORAZR in July 2004, which led to his registration of MOTORAZR.com for a planned news site about mobile phones. Motorola filed a trademark application for MOTORAZR in June 2005 and now tried to appropriate the domain without compensation.

Submission + - Appeal to Google! Use Google Adsense for Good!

The Google ads on my blog don't generate much income and well, I don't really care about it, they're partially a service to let people find interesting companies and partially a way for me to keep track of statistics (before Google Analytics came around). It's a bit of a long tail idea, where many small sites help generate a big amount of money for charity. I hope some people in the blogosphere help to give this idea some thrust and also encourage Google to allow people to easily let a charity become the beneficiary of the revenue the Google Ads generate."
