Maybe you're using the E cursor insted of X cursor? that would make E force render. Maybe you have also a module that's constantly updating things (like mem, net, clock or temp)? maybe mplayer is not using gl but software?
I'm using smplayer as an mplayer2 frontend and I have an nvidia card with binary blobs. CPU had to do lots of cycles until I used vdpau and dri and that made things a LOT better 2015-05-01 1:49 GMT-03:00 Carsten Haitzler <[email protected]>: > On Thu, 30 Apr 2015 21:15:48 -0700 Marc MERLIN <[email protected]> > said: > > > On Fri, May 01, 2015 at 12:00:43PM +0900, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > > > > One other things I was thinking about.
