Dear all,
I am using xorg 2.6.8 on an ASUS laptop with a Radeon Mobility M7 LW graphic
card. The laptop is configured with Debian + Ubuntu xorg packages.
I was too lazy to install xorg from source.
xorg is configured with DRI and XV. Playing a DVD under xine only consumes 40%
of the computer activity. But when the laptop warms up, activity climbs to
100%.
The performance of OpenGL software (like glxgeras) stays the same, but
performance of video playback drops dramatically.
Are you aware of any relation between a laptop temperature and the performance
of a video card? Is there a way to playback video with good quality, even
when the laptop heats up?
Kind regards,
Jean-Michel
