    Hi guys,
    Just bought m17x, but got a problem when watch avi videos by using 6990m, the video was full of jagged edges. but when I changed the graphic card to hd3000 the video image was totally fine, just like aa is used, which was much much better than when using 6990m. anyone knows why and how to fix it?

    The drivers for both are original, amd official ones cannot be installed :mad: gives me a white screen.

    cheers guys.

    Try disable YV12 output in ffdshow video decoder or whichever video decoder you are using.

    What program are you playing the video in? What video renderer and video decoder are listed in the Filters menu if present?

    Ah, thank you namaiki. I just tried to play by wmp by using win7 codecs it was fine, but when using kmplayer it was not. It is the kmplayer's problem then. I think I can handle this now. Thank you very much :D
