Thanks Martin and Mike,
I completely forgot to include the version. I am running .19 from atrpms.
CPU Usage is pretty much 99% Yowzer.
Open chrome installed from http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/, set to use
driver "via" in xorg.conf.
Couldn't find any settings in the menus to enable or disable the MPEG2
decoding so assumed it did it automagically now..
Thanks again,
Steve
I hope it's merely a config problem.. or I maybe buying a cheap nvidia pci
card for some tv out, it sure would be a waste on my M10000.. though I could
try and pick up one of those mini portable playstation screens... hmm it
sounds like a plan actually.
