HI!
Found the cause: AGP was disabled!
I am using the 2.6.9 FC2 kernel from atrpms and this kernel has AGPGART enabeled.
I also had set "NvAGP" to "1" (= use NVidia-AGP) in xorg.conf, like in my other Myth box and as recommended in Jarod's doc.
The result was, that the NVidia driver could not use NVidia-AGP, because AGPGART was enabled in the kernel and so I had no AGP at all, resulting in 40% CPU usage from X while playing.
Now I set "NvAGP" to "3", so that the NVidia driver is able to use AGPGART and now X uses only 13% CPU.
I think, this could go down to 1% (as in my other Myth box), if I could disable AGPGART in the kernel and use NVidia-AGP.
But how to disable AGPGART in that kernel? I tried agpgart=no as boot parameter, but that did not help.
Thanks!

HI!
Using NVidia 6629 TV-out with XV for playback in mythfrontend, I get:
- 1% CPU for mythfrontend - 40% CPU for X
But total CPU is at 80%, causing prebuffering pause every now and then (and all the time, if I enable kernel deint in addition).
Strange is, I can't see any other process with "top", that takes the rest of the CPU (the other 40%).
Watching LiveTV without prebuffering pause is impossible, because that adds another 10% CPU, reaching total of over 90%.
Recording with PVR-250, 720x576, 7000/8000 bps.
Hardware: Celeron 1.3 GHz, 512 MB.
Hard disk DMA is on.
Fecora Core 2, Kernel 2.6.9, Myth 0.16.
I was once using a P-III/866 in another machine, that had no problems with the same settings (resolution, bitrate), playing at 50% CPU total.
Any hints?
Thanks!
Thomas
