With my system, a Pentium II, 400mHz, 384M memory I am still happy with KDE. Even Compiz-Fusion I have a workable system. The NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 plays fine with Compiz and does not eat much of CPU. I am not one of the fastest ;) and can live with a moderate fast computer. But with a same setup on 10.2, without Compiz but for the rest similair I had a nice and small TV window with Xawtv which I found to have a small footprint. With my newly installed 10.3 I cannot use xawtv because it complaints as follows:
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.22.12-0.1-default) xinerama 0: 1280x1024+0+0 X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode Major opcode of failed request: 137 (XFree86-DGA) Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (XF86DGAGetVideoLL) Serial number of failed request: 69 Current serial number in output stream: 69
Has the combination NVidia and Compiz anything to do with the failing of xawtv? kdetv and tvtime both use every part of my CPU and block any other work on this computer. Are there other small footprint TV programs? With Motv I get the same response as with xawtv.
Do you have the accelerated drivers installed from NVIDIA ? This would allow your card to do 3D and I suspect may help this issue as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
