Subject: [gentoo-user] Questions about optimal mplayer settings
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 18:20:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121218232009.GA24866@waltdnes.org> (raw)

1) In the past couple of days I finally figured out what I was doing
wrong with hardware acceleration (causing lack thereof) with an onboard
Intel GPU in my HTPC machine.  I've applied the same fix to my desktop.
mplayer now has 5 video output modes that actually show a picture...

xv      X11/Xv
gl_nosw OpenGL no software rendering
x11     X11 ( XImage/Shm )
gl      OpenGL
gl2     X11 (OpenGL) - multiple textures version

Which one has the best playback ability?  Is there a test program or a
"torture test" video file I can use for testing?


2) When I start up mplayer, the diagnostics include...
"MMX2 supported but disabled"

There is no "mmx2" in the USE flags or in /proc/cpuinfo

vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 15
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E4600  @ 2.40GHz
stepping        : 13
....................
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm
constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl
est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm dtherm

...and I have "-march=native" in my CFLAGS.  Any explanations?
