Description Simon Morgan 2006-06-08 14:14:39 UTC
Video playback under Xorg using any media player is very choppy/stuttery even 
though I don't get any "your system is too slow to play this" type messages. 
This happens on 3.9 and a recent snapshot. I don't have the same problem under 
Linux.

I've tried:

* Using the vesa driver
* Using 16bit colour
* Disabling sound
* Switching between x11 and xv in mplayer
* Playing with -cache settings in mplayer
* Playing videos from HD and DVDs
* Changing various Xorg options: AccelMethod, ColorTiling DMAForXv, NoAccel, 
RenderAccel

I'm getting the same issue of poor video performance under FreeBSD 6.1, mplayer 
also seems to be dropping frames. I should state for the record that my system 
is more than up to the task of playing these video:

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Is this still a problem in recent OpenBSD releases ?
Having now a working radeondrm helps a lot with Xvideo too.
