Hi all,
I installed Debian sid on a box running on an Asus AT3N7A-I.
mplayer has been compiled from git with threading & VDPAU.
low-def content plays fine over HDMI (though I have yet to figure out how
to make sound work over HDMI), but 1080p gets choppy when a lot of
detail is in the video. The on-board GFX chip has 256 MB of RAM.
Various details are attached below.
Under Fluxbox with KDM, I get the following results:
% mplayer -lavdopts threads=4 -fs -benchmark -nosound -frames 5000 test.mkv

I am not really sure how to read the results as they seem to be fine, but
the video playback is far from smooth. The playback with
-vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau
is best, of course.
Any and all help appreciated as this box is supposed to be my media
PC.
Thanks,
Richard
