aeromojito, sorry if this is a bit late, but, could you try setting: Option "OverlayMem" "1000000" or if you want more than full dvd resolution (720x576) maybe a bit higher OverlayMem, provided you are able (and willing) to go with modest resolution and/or depth, to make more video ram available
and also set your DefaultDepth to 16, or even try 8 ? I believe the X desktop will display in whatever depth you choose, but the video - as it is in an overlay that is managed directly by the video chip - will be in true color. You could even play with mplayer from console (no X needed) ! see: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?p=31808#p31808 So, reducing Resolution (1024x768 or 800x600 ) and/or depth may help, mplayer (or gmplayer if you shall) may also be preferable over vlc / totem in terms of CPU overhead! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-neomagic in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564378 Title: Fails to set MTRR for 2D acceleration _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
