I'm trying to make an older PC display high-def streaming video. It's a Dell Inspiron Desktop 530, with 2 gigs of ram, assembled and shipped August 2007. It has an Intel dual core (*NOT* a "Core Duo") cpu like so (from /proc/cpuinfo). vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU 2140 @ 1.60GHz stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1595.660 cache size : 1024 KB The original Intel onboard GPU wasn't really up to the task. I bought an Nvidia GeForce 6200 video card, set it up, and it handles 1280x720p video OK, from my HDHomerun TV tuner box. 1920x1080i shows the occasional hint of stuttering. I followed the instructions at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml including the Nouveau driver. I'm running ICEWM to minimize system overhead. Are there any other tips and tricks for getting better video performance out of this admittedly old system? glxgears shows 382 fps when the system is idle. It works without an xorg.conf. This also happens to my mdev test machine (no udev). I'm attaching the Xorg log file for more detail. -- Walter Dnes
