the X server.  I just have this sense that perhaps there is something poorly
configured here that it requires so much CPU from the X server.  I know the
XvMC gives you access to the motion compensation framework but am I perhaps
missing something more fundamental like some acceleration that would allow
direct writes to the framebuffer or something?!?

Just out of curiosity...when you say 65-75% CPU utilization, how is that partitioned between the X server and the frontend?&nbsp; I ask because if I try and watch without XvMC on my system, the X server is something like 30% and the frontend is like 70%.&nbsp; I'm wondering if this load on the X server can be avoided somehow.&nbsp; Then I might have a chance to watch HD natively.
</blockquote><div><br>I just wanted to circle back on this issue of X server utilization.&nbsp; I installed a 2.4GHz P4 in my machine to replace the Celeron that was there.&nbsp; Now when I attempt non-XvMC playback, I get something like 47% CPU for the frontend and 50% CPU for the X server.
<br><br>From all the data I have seen, this seems like extremely high utilization of the X server.&nbsp; I just have this sense that perhaps there is something poorly configured here that it requires so much CPU from the X server.&nbsp; I know the XvMC gives you access to the motion compensation framework but am I perhaps missing something more fundamental like some acceleration that would allow direct writes to the framebuffer or something?!?
