Ah yes you reminded me that I wanted to include my mplayer settings in
my original email. My /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf contains:
vo=gl2
monitoraspect=16:10
mixer = hw:0
fontconfig=1
subfont-osd-scale=4
subfont-text-scale=3
I have an nVidia graphics card in my laptop:
# lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce Go 7700 (rev a1)
I set it up by basically installing x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers,
currently I'm at version 100.14.19.
Some sections from /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you would like more, let me know):
Section "Module"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "glx"
Load "extmod"
Load "dbe"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "GeForce 7700 Go"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 7700 Go"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "BackingStore" "true"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "TwinView"
Option "HorizSync" "LCD: 31.5-79; Ext: 31.5-80; TV: 47.7"
Option "VertRefresh" "LCD: 60-60; Ext: 70-75; TV: 60"
Option "MetaModes" "Ext: 1280x1024 +1440+0, LCD: 1440x900
@1440x1024 +0+0; LCD: 1440x900, Ext: NULL"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "LCD"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
EndSection
Currently I'm not using twin displays, just my laptop.
As I'm typing this email in Firefox, I notice every second or so a
pause. My cursor freezes, even though I continue to type, and only
after hanging for a split-second, the display catches up with what I
have been typing. This is after Firefox has been used yesterday and
sat idle overnight and doesn't involve mplayer at all.
Thanks for the help so far guys :)
Mike
