Slackware 8 Hell

[cdowns]

It is currently defaulting to x11 output and i noticed my link is:

root at loser:/home/cdowns/src/vlc-0.2.81# ls -l /usr/X11/bin/X
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 Jul 23 17:14 /usr/X11/bin/X -> XFree86*
root at loser:/home/cdowns/src/vlc-0.2.81#

so if i could get this to actaully run XFree86_Mach64, i might be in better business. which would tell me yes it is useing software rendering at this time ( i believe that to be correct ).  Also im going to investigate vnivia page as suggested to see if there is anything i can do about this. I will post back and let you guys know about the tnt2 card.

thanks everyone for there input.

Because I think (I'm not sure, I will have to check the X11 plugin code) one difference between the x11 output and the SDL output is that in fullscreen mode SDL will change the resolution of the display to the one of the decoded video. So basically SDL won't loose any processing time in rescaling when in fullscreen mode.
