Hi gang!
I have two netbooks, an Asus 901 eeepc, and a newer Acer Aspire One
D255E.
on the older Asus, GoogleEarth runs quite nicely (for such a minimally-
powered system). it's clearly getting some graphical acceleration from
the video chipset. (Thismachine is still running F17, soon to be upgraded,
I hope.)
the Acer, OTOH runs Google Earth so poorly as to be painful to watch
it slowly accumulate bits on the screen, taking several minutes to
build up the default image upon startup. (This machine is running F19.)
The Asus is an old Atom N270 where "lsmod | grep video" reports:
$ lsmod | grep video
uvcvideo 71406 0
videobuf2_vmalloc 13003 1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_memops 13001 1 videobuf2_vmalloc
videobuf2_core 37715 1 uvcvideo
videodev 97059 2 uvcvideo,videobuf2_core
media 19719 2 uvcvideo,videodev
video 18551 1 i915
i2c_core 28312 6 drm,i915,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,videodev
the Acer (Atom N570, dual core) reports this from lsmod | grep video:
acer aspire one D255E
# lsmod | grep video
uvcvideo 71417 0
videobuf2_vmalloc 13003 1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_memops 13001 1 videobuf2_vmalloc
videobuf2_core 37679 1 uvcvideo
videodev 97069 2 uvcvideo,videobuf2_core
media 19691 2 uvcvideo,videodev
i2c_core 28434 6 drm,i915,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,videodev
video 18551 2 i915,acer_wmi
they appear virtually identical, except that the Acer includes "acer_wmi"
along with i915 for "video".
Given that they seemto use the same Intel drivers, I'd expect them to
provide more or less the same video performance but at least for Google
Earth, they donot.
Anyone got any cles?
thanks!
Fred
