xine playback problems

[fabiogump]

I've been having problems with plaing videos in Xine on my machine.

I ran xine-check and it came up with this..

[ hint ] Your X server doesn't support YV12 overlays.
         That means xine will have to do color space transformation and scaling
         in software, which is quite CPU intensive. Maybe upgrading your
         X server will help here.
         If you have an ATI card, you'll find accelerated X servers on

[ hint ] Your X server doesn't have any XVideo support...
         XVideo is an X server extension introduced by XFree86 4.x. This
         extension provides access to hardware accelerated color space
         conversion and scaling, which gives a great performance boost.
         If you have a fast (>1GHz) machine, you may be able to watch all
         kinds of video, anyway. You will waste lots of CPU cycles, though...

I have the most current version of X11 and I do have XVideo on the machine so I figure this is a simple comfiguration problem. So what do I need to change?

What messages do you get if you run xine from a terminal.

[fabiogump]

no error messages in the terminal. But when I'm playing a video, it's very choppy and I get this message popup.

"The amount of dropped frame is too high, your system may be slow, not proporly optimized, or just overloaded.

most likely it is your video driver you have selected for X

can you post

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver

and (as root or sudo)

lspci | grep -i vga

and

uname -a

[fabiogump]

here you go...

xxxxx@oemnetwork:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver
# driver instead of the fbdev driver.  Thanks to Kenneth Fanyo who pointed
# With the new driver, it should no longer be required to have frame buffer
# the driver supports it.
    Driver      "kbd"
# Identifier and driver
    Driver      "mouse"
#    Driver     "magellan"
#    Driver     "spaceorb"
#    Driver     "microtouch"
#    Driver     "elo2300"
    Driver      "vesa"

instead of using "vesa" driver try out "savage" and see if that helps. You can change driver by editing the xorg.conf file with a text editor such as nano, vim, or emacs. After you change driver restart X server.
