On my SandyBridge Laptop Powertop shows about 90% Idle (Disabled Clock) and 85% C7 sleep states, while writing this on KDE. I don't know if this is good or bad :-D

Recording digital TV is little more than reading the transport stream from the digital TV receiver and writing it to the hard disk, and maybe some PID filtering if this isn't implemented in the...

And video decode acceleration! By ignoring this aspect AMD is missing out on a large part of the Linux HTPC market.

Doesn't Intel already provide Linux drivers for their yet to be released next gen hardware? And AMD has also almost caught up. They are just missing HDMI audio support for their newer GPUs, which I...

Sort of works here (RS780). No corruption but 2D accel seems to be disabled by default, have to add Option "2DAccel" "on" to xorg.conf. With 2D accel enabled there's some corruption and a lot of...

"System Settings" has been in use long before KDE started using it. I don't know who was the first to actually use it, it probably originated in the Windows environment, but it has become a generic...

kraftman,

As I occupied the word 'childishness' first in this thread, it is mine as a result, and I will
NOT be relinquishing it to satisfy your personal (selfish) desires. I request that you...

LOL! Hilarious! The childishness of the KDE developers never ceases to amaze me. 'Activities' revisited (another word they claimed a stake on).

It happens with any mpeg I throw at it. The picture with artifacts below is from the following mpeg:

It 'works' for me with the following observations.

- There are artifacts in the picture
- CPU usage is quite a bit lower compared to -vo xv and -vo gl
- Playback is slower compared to -vo xv (a...

Ha. I'm starting to like the guy already :D

I'm not sure why some people here seem shocked by this comment. I totally agree with him here. Better be straight to the point and make your point...

Linux is also used as a base for firmware in a lot of consumer electronics, e.g., nowadays many modern television sets have ntfs support, so users can share movies between their PC and TV through a...

What about the gstreamer-vaapi plugin? Is this now going to be moved to the gstreamer repository at freedesktop.org?

I think the question is why is this still hosted separately and not part of the gstreamer repository at freedesktop.org?

If it is a compiler suite then it may matter if their runtime library is also GPL licensed and they don't have a provision akin to the GCC runtime library exception.

I noticed that except for the NAS benchmark you are using the same small set of benchmarks as you did for the other two articles.

Now the skeptic in me awakes and says these benchmarks are cherry...

AFAIK Catalyst is compiled with gcc, not sure about nvidia, but probably also gcc.

Nice. Wondering if this can also speed up multimedia encoding and decoding, mplayer/ffmpeg/x264, etc.

Are you sure about that? IIRC you had to sign a Sun Contributor Agreement before you could contribute to OpenOffice. Which means you would give them joint copyright ownership over your contributed...

Thanks for the benchmarks.

So KDE is not only a memory hog (as shown by previous benchmarks), but it will also drain your battery like crazy. LOL, this is getting funnier by the day ;)

IMHO any...
