I am so amazed, I wanted to write and tell what I have found: Using the new NVIDIA kernel drivers for X (the ones from their website, not the rivafb module that comes with the kernel) I am able to play 2 movies full screen at once with no delay. - and still page to a different workspace and load up netscape or an xterm with no glitch. That's incredible considering Win 98 can't do that on my machine! The new drivers also include a cool splash screen for X when it starts. What's on my machine: kernel: 2.4.13-ac8 Window Manager: Window Maker movie player: Xine 0.9.6 AMD 550MHZ chip 100 FSB 192MB Ram 2 - 12GB ATA/66 WD harddrives SBLive Diamond Viper w/ TNT2 chipset 32MB ram
Before I was running X through the kernel Framebuffer and it was slow just moving a netscape window around. Has anyone else tried this?
