Hi,<br><br>I recently moved from good old CRT TV to a 1600x1050 resolution LCD<br>that I'm using as a TV. After the switch, I find that MythTV is<br>running a lot slower when switching between menu screen s. Once the
<br>video gets going, the performance is fine, but it takes forever to<br>move from the initial page to the list of recordings, or getting to<br>the DVD archive menu, for example. During this time, I see it doing a<br>lot of disk activity. I have a decent NVidia graphics card with 256
<br>MB of on-board RAM so I don't think that is the problem.<br><br>My guess is that mythfrontend and/or <a href="http://X.org">X.org</a> are now taking up a whole<br>lot of RAM because of the much higher resolution (
2.2x more pixels)<br>and the system tends to thrash because I have only 512MB of RAM. Is<br>my hunch correct or am I missing something?<br><br>If the RAM is the limiting factor, what choices do I have? Increase<br>the RAM? Is there any way to bring down the memory requirement
<br>without having to reduce the resolution? It bothers me that video<br>works fine but the static menus are so slow.<br><br>Thanks.<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">
