called "Video card DRI" which is apparently the best method.
However, I have not been able to get my frontend to use that
method and I'm not sure why. I'm wondering if anyone has
been able to get the GT430 into the DRI or DRM or whatever
it's supposed to report when it's succesful.</div>

<div>By the way, I tried using the Playback->Playback Data

numbers out to the log file:</div>

<div>Seems like that should be a more scientific way to
determine if there is any improvement. Thanks for the
suggestion Frank. I've also got a preliminary xorg.conf
written up with a bunch of modelines that I ripped out of
the Xorg.0.log and retrieved using xrandr with xvidtune.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have a question though. When I run xrandr to dump the
available video modes it shows this which makes me think I
can do 1920x1080 at 24Hz. But when I try to get into that
mode it tells me:</div>
<div>
<div>$ xrandr</div>
<div>Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum
16384 x 16384</div>
