Ya, the 5700 did both screens with Xv. I got it now though ,with this mornings CVS, pops up on both. Also my nVidia XvMC libraries needed to be moved from where the installer put them to where they belong. It seems there is now a flag in the nVidia 6629 installer to tell it to do that but I just moved them manually. I'm not having Xv or XvMC issues with Xinerama now but I will make the TV Screen 0 for these tests. > > As for testing, yes, if you need component out and don't have a > tv that can take vga or rgb or have an audio authority, you may > not be the right person to test the performance. Oh this is mostly a convenience issue for my girlfriend. I have several other systems around but not another one with a 6600GT. But that comment is a little snide, don't ya think? > > However, realize you can test the performance on a plain old vga > monitor at 1280 x 960 just fine. Yes I do. Again, one needs to accomidate others that live here! I've been busy this weekend but am doing the same test I did the other day agains XvMC. The system performance has jumped noticably but I'll send out the measured numbers when I get done here later today. I downloaded a version of TOP from Mandrake Clud that is supposed to facilitate hyperthreading. It certainly displays activity where my previous version did not, so I'll provide that too, for whatever it's worth. I'll do your test too but I will need to get somemore recordings to create the control environment. That probably won't get done till later this week. -- -Blair _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
