Well XvMC was working for me just last evening. I had to restart Xthis morning for some reason or another, and now it is again not workingwith that same BadAlloc error. What can be causing these anomolies?That was the same giveaway for me this morning too, the color OSD. I would think my machine should be able to handle HD without xvmc, but it can't. Athon64 3200+ 1 Gig PC3200 Ram Asus 68V SE Deluxe Nvidia 6600 GT Gentoo Linux 2005.0 (Compiled in 64 bit) I'm completely taxed and lagging away on hd without xvmc in myth. It plays fine with about 90 percent cpu usage in mplayer. With xvmc I'm at about 60-70 cpu usage (when its working).That's weird cause my frontend is an Athlon64 3000, 512megs, the videocard is a cheap 6200 PCI Express card and using the soundcard on the motherboard I can get by without XvMC. I'm running Centos 4 but that doesn't really matter much and I'm running a build of 2.6.12-rc3.I'm running a variation of a 2.6.11 kernel, however I really doubt that would be the cause. I'm using an audigy 2, so I would doubt that would be it either. Hmm well I'm not sure what to think. My XvMC is similarly intermittent. At first it consistently fails, then suddenly starts working; at that point it will continue to work until I terminate that particular X session. I also have an Athlon64-based machine; I sense a pattern here. Perhaps a word-size difference is causing an uninitialized field in the XvMC implementation or client protocol exchange? I tried enabling XvmcUsesTextures, but it had no effect. FYI, my system (Athlon64 3500+, MSI K8N Neo Platinum, 1GB PC3200 RAM, GeForce FX5200 AGP 8x) can display 1080i live TV in Myth with about 66% CPU utilization using Xv, and about 33% CPU utilization using XvMC. I'm running SuSE 9.2 with a 2.6.11.7 kernel and using the 1.0.7174 nVidia driver. - Paul Milazzo |
