Is there someone on this list who can give a definitive answer regarding the hardware acceleration of the via framebuffer. Is it possible to use the hardware acceleration under directfb in conjunction with mplayer/xine - and what does it take. Should mplayer be patched? >From the heaps of articles on the internet regarding this issue it seems that the conclusion is that X is required inorder to get hardware acceleration as it relies on Xvmc, dri, ... I have a setup with an 800MHz nano board. And allthough the cle266 (and unichrome) driver in DirectFB gives better performance than the vesa driver. I still get between 70 and 80% cpu usage (with peaks at 100%). Is this the best I can expect? I took the viafb from DirectFB and compiled it into the kernel - should I use the cle266 or unichrome from gfxdrivers then? lspci gives: 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA technologies, Inc.
