terrible mplayer performance
Ok. I'm stuck. Mplayer's performance is worse on this laptop than it is on my Toshiba running with a half-speed processor. I have attempted all the suggestions I can find re: getting the performance. The video is slow - so it lags the audio by quite a bit. I keep getting Your processor is too slow... stuff. What to do? I built mplayer from ports (not package). mplayer-1.0.r20100117_1 My computer is an HP Pavilion dv4 xorg.conf is set up to run the vesa driver. That's how X -configure set it up. I have no idea what graphics device is actually on this machine. dmesg shows: Copyright (c) 1992-2010 The FreeBSD Project.

I have an i3 M 350 -- the intel drivers do not yet work for this chipset. It's the Intel HM55, probably. To verify, give us the output of pciconf -vl | grep vgapci0 The chip= portion of that has the PCI ID. Mine's 00468086. For now at least, I'm stuck on vesa.
