Unfortunately it turns out that the laptop doesn't have an HDMI port, so I cannot report in the user of that, however I can confirm that xvmc does NOT work with GMA 3100, the driver isn't there yet, apparently the Intel dev's are working on it, but for now there is only xv or openGL or plain old X.
However it does support open GL and direct rendering and auto detected everything just great out of the box for my laptop. Running my test movie which was transformers HD trailer (h.264, 1920x798 AVC1) xine runs at approximately 50% cpu, peaking at 65% and X peaking at 20% CPU. This is on an Intel T7300 (2ghz). Playback was great quality on the laptop screen, but is scaled to fit 1280x800. All in all I'm impressed with the graphics quality and ease with which the 3100 "just worked" on Fedora 8. Once xvmc support is there, or even better the vaapi support then the 3100 should be a great platform. No idea of a 2.4ghz P4 will be fast enough, but it might be :) Hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
