Framebuffer is painfully slow because it does not support hardware acceleration for color space and picture scale conversion. That might be available with some driver-specific hacks, but generally not with the common Linux FrameBuffer API.
So it is painfully slow compared to XVideo, which supports both. And VLC _can_ output without Framebuffer nor. It will use the ASCII or colored ASCII art outputs. -- vlc produces corrupted output in framebuffer console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579984 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
