This is true when it was running Mandrake 9.2, I tried ivtv from .2, .3.2, .3.3s,l,z and now on .3.5l on fedora, ivtv wasn't one of the cause. I saw 0.7 load average in Mandrake during normal use, but it move around in fedora from 0.8 to 2.5 while watching live tv. > > > HD is enabled with DMA, using KDE as WM, the only difference would > >be xorg server on fedora, xwindow on Mandrake.

Yup, already on 7117 I think, nvidia-setting is a nice utility for over scan and adjust blanking. Any thing else which I am over looking? I am recompiling the kernel today to see if that make a different. I did some search on google, there are alot of complain on fedora running slower compair to some other dist, I want to nail down the cause first else I will be switching to debian. Thanks.
