Hi, I believe that this question is not really freevo oriented, but I hope that some people here have a configuration like mine.
I have now a decent Linux Box : P4C 2,4 GHz (Hyper threaded, I think I read something about that), 2 Gb ram, fast hard drive, a GeForce 6600 GT video board. The Linux Distro is Mandriva 2009 , with a 2.6.27 kernel. So the ivtv and ivtvfb drivers are the kernel version. In that fabulous system, I have a Hauppauge PVR-350 card. Near my computer is a TV (a plain old CRT TV ;-) ) My plan is to have freevo running on the tv (using the PVR-350 out through the ivtvfb driver) and simultaneously an X server on the 'Main' screen of the computer. It is nearly working but I have considerable performance issue when I watch a Video on freevo. I also did tests like : mplayer -vo fbdev:/dev/fb1 my_test.avi Running without any option, the system use nearly 200 % CPU (according to top ;-) ) and the video run at 3 picture / second, approximatively. (Sound is at native speed, not very helpful !) I did differents tests, trying to load ivtvfb with some options, but I didn't notice any changes. BTW, I didn't find the correct way to tell freevo to use the fbdev driver directly, specifying /dev/fb1 as output, so I did my freevo test under X. But as the ressource trouble also exists without freevo...
