Starting "mplayer -vo xv -hardframedrop anyfile.avi" cuases wmclock and wmcpuload to show garbled icons. Additonally, the video playback is unbearably slow, circa one frame every 5 seconds. Back when 2.6.29 was shipped (at which point I believe nouveau was without ttm), xv playback was super smooth.

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report. In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one. Thanks, The Nouveau Team
