Hi all,

I have an Nvidia Geforce2 GTS/P3 1Ghz and running Fedora Core 2 ( yes 
already, very much like it :) ). The problem I see is when I watch 
something with mplayer with a Nvidia proprietary driver things become 
slow and in top I see about 50-60% CPU usage by X process, and i guess 
it could eat more, CPU usage is 100%. When I run it with open source nv 
driver X process eats up only about 20 % of CPU and all is fine. How 
come? I use xv as output method with mplayer.
The video playback related diffrences between them is (judjing from 
xvinfo)that nv driver supports YV12 and YUY2 formats, and nvidia only 
YUY2. I dont thin I had this issue when I was running RH 9.
Anybody has any ideas? Maybe somebody has an Nvidia videocard and has RH 
9 and could fire up a proprietary driver and run xvinfo, to see if this 
something with new X/kernel in FC2 or it has been there forever.

thnx in advance.
