Hi, I've tried Xgl + Compiz with a Nvidia FX5200 card. I'm using nvidia drivers version 8756. As it is said on the page http://en.opensuse.org/Xgl#Hardware_Advisory , video is slow, using any option of any video player (mplayer, totem-gstreamer, xine, vlc). Is this trouble being solved ? How can I help ? How can I be informed when this problem will be solved ? Does this trouble comes from Xgl ? Xorg ? Nvidia drivers ?
The only thing that will help here is time (there was a time once when I was hacking, not writing emails so much. No offense ;)
It actually works fine for me on an AMD64 system. nVidia Corporation NV34, GeForce FX 5200 (MSI branded), nVidia binary driver (installed using the tiny-nvidia-installer) and a TwinView setup. Xine plays DVDs like a charm and mpg/avi/... etc work fine as well (in totem, mplayer, xine). The only issue I have is that MythTV crashes the Xgl as soon as playback starts. But there seems to be a solutions well (-> http://moosy.blogspot.com/2006/04/mythtv-and-xglcompiz.html). BB
