Okay, looks like things aren't quite ideal for me yet. With the sync to vblank off I get unpleasant tearing on playback. Should having sync to vblank on be causing problems with XvMC? In answer to Daniel's questions: My fx5200 is fanless and running fine (glxgears == 3000, AGP is on, mtrr is compiled into the kernel: is there anything special I should do with mtrr?) Extra Audio Buffering is on. dmesg output is fine, no complaints there. I guess I can roll back to 6629, but 7167 actually seem to work well for me. I will try tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. Without XvMC I can play back 720p programs with about 75% processor usage, but I need XvMC to play back 1080i completely smoothly. -Mark -- Mark Frey [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list mythtv-dev@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
