[mythtv-users] Jaunty frontend performance on Intel 915/945

[Ken Mandelberg]

I've upgraded a few laptops that from Ubuntu 8,10 to 9.04. These have 
either Intel 915 or 945 graphics chips. I'm running the mythtv trunk.

The frontend performance has gotten much worse after the upgrade. The 
video is jumpy at 720p or 1080i where it wasn't before.

I'm guessing that this is because of the Intel Xorg driver which moved 
from 2.4.1 to 2.6.3 in the upgrade. Both Intel chips use the overlay xv 
driver, and I made sure that XvPreferOverlay is on in xorg.conf. xvinfo 
confirms that the overlay (not textured) is the default xv port as on 8.10.

Is there something else I'm missing. The performance is just too bad to 
use on 9.04 as is.
