Ok, this patch should work on NV50 chips also. What you get is EXA and Xv. You still need: A recent -CURRENT or -STABLE. git master of libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau. This patch. Things I've figured out since the last patch... On NV50 class hardware you need to have a compositing manager running for Xv to work. That means xcompmgr, metacity with composite enabled, xfce (rumored to work as well, haven't tried). If your running Gnome with metacity, open gconf-editor and go to apps->metacity->general and check the composite box. On NV40 class hardware, you don't need the composite manager. In fact (at least with Xserver 1.6 which I'm running now), if a composite manager is enabled, I'm seeing high cpu utilization from Xorg under some circumstances. I don't think this is a drm issue, but still an issue. For me, if I start a video using mplayer in an xterm, cpu is fine as long as that xterm is the foreground window. If it is not the foreground window, even if it isn't obscured I see the cpu utilization. Disabling the composite manager makes everything fine. http://people.freebsd.org/~rnoland/drm-nouveau-032109.patch robert. -- Robert Noland <rnoland_at_FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD
