Ogle plays fine on my P4-1.6Ghz laptop, though. Have you made sure that the DVD drive is using DMA? 'sysctl hw.ata.atapi_dma' will tell you, and can be set at boot from /boot/loader.conf. Also, I beleive that if you enable the SSE instructions that the mpeg2 and audio libraries that ogle uses will have to be recompiled to make sure that they generate the SSE instructions.
performance - very jerky. Last weekend, when this computer (an Athlon XP
1800+) had 4-stable and KDE 3.0.5, ogle perfomance on the same DVD was
perfectly smooth. Since ogle didn't change, I assume it's something to do
with FreeBSD. Any idea what could be causing it?
At first I thought it was that I hadn't put CPU_ENABLE_SSE in my kernel, like
I had in 4-stable, but after putting it in, the performance is still just as
bad. While playing a DVD the load goes from about 0.02 to about 1.5.
Unfortunately I don't know what it did under 4-stable, but if anyone else can
compare...
