As of the 0.8.5 release, Gnash supports both XVideo an the MIT-SHM extension for better performance. It's just that these newer builds never seem to get built for the XO, although I drop binary snapshots as rpms on our http://www.getgnash.org site occasionally. To enable XVideo support of newer Gnash builds, just add "set XVideo true" in your $HOME/.gnashrc file. We added both of these over the winter because of the benefit to XO class hardware. It's not enabled by default as it's a new feature. The other problem with Gnash builds on the XO is the non-standard Gstreamer builds, so I dynamically link mine with ffmpeg, which also give better performance than using Gstreamer anyway. I assume when you switch to Fedora 11, this problem will go away. Anyway, I like to switch to the C7 from the Geode LX. :-) - rob - _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
