Well, the title says it all! No matter how simple the animation; on one blank slide with one picture, the result is the same - choppy, unusable animation! Below are some of the things I have tried:

  • Closing ALL other programs
  • Using gnome (ugh! )
  • Using different window managers (Kwin, Compiz, Metacity)
  • Using a lower resolution image
  • Using a different type of image


All with the same result. I am thinking it is my video configuration(X11), as I have trouble with it sometimes. (Blasted Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000]!!! )

Suggestions anyone?
I am desperate as this is for a school assignment!!!
Please, Please don't let me use windows!!! I would rather die!!!

BTW: By animations, I mean slide transitions, and custom animations.
