-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This probably (or most certainly) doesn't really belong here, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I recently upgraded my system to a dual screen (2 LCDs via DVI) and my normal CRT TV Set (via HDMI) setup. One LCD and the TV set are cloned with TwinView from a PCIe-Graphics card (Nvidia 8600), while the other LCD is connected via DVI from a NVidia 6200 over the PCI bus (no PCIe). Playing a bigger video (~1280x720) on the PCI card's screen, I get 40-70% cpu load on the X process, while the cpu load is barely measurable on the PCIe card. It has nothing to do with 8600 over 6200, since before this setup I used a 6200 on the PCIe, and it also worked flawlessly (meaning almost no cpu usage at all). If I remove the PCIe card and work with the PCI card alone, the same thing happens: major load on the X process (so it isn't necessary a dual-screen problem). playing a smaller video (but still making it full screen later) works fine and produces also only a small cpu load. If i move the video around from one screen to the other, the same happens: PCIe-Screen: almost no X load, PCI-Screen: 24 or more % cpu load. Has someone any Idea what could be done against this, I mean on the PCI bus I should be able to move 130MB/s, and a 1280x720 video @24fps produces less than it. Some sort of PCI busmaster issue I presume? - -- Cheers, Alex -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkDYzgACgkQ1J0MF2u394y5CgCdFHzhtR3K7fVcItzkkO981bBu MGEAoN94AxV/Nim2jB10V+yUvMnTxts8 =aTuA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
