OK, Checked a bit more. Playing a downloaded movie gives about 33% CPU load. Playing a recorded movie uses about 80-90% load, and as said stutters like mad. I guess the verdict is that Ronald is right: the Epia EX10000EG is not strong enough to decode mpeg2 via CPU cycles, it needs the graphical processor to do at least some of the work.
Ronald, What tv-card do you have? Could you expand a bit on the need to recompile libdrm? I have libdrm installed. the modules via and drm are loaded. I checked xorg.log. X seems fine with it. What is the meaning of this procedure?
