AFAIK, the majority of platforms for STBs will not have 3D hardware support. But platforms for Smart-TVs, theire hardwares are good, for example, 4-core SXG. On these platforms, XBMC can run well, I think. > > > > > On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 11:08 PM, Christian Robottom Reis < > k...@linaro.org> > > wrote: > >> > >> On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 04:29:40PM +0800, Hui Zhang wrote: > >> > Thank you, Ricardo! > >> > By your experience,do you think xbmc can perform well on boards > without > >> > hardware OpenGL ES acceleration? > >> > >> I don't know if Ricardo answered, but unless XBMC has a non-composited > >> 2D mode, I think it's unlikely.
