very poor performance of DVD using vesa or fglrx-driver

[B Thomas <thomas.1037@osu.edu>]

Hi,

On my Dell Insprion 9400 (1.83 Ghz dual core with 256Mb ATI Radeon
x1400) DVD playing is much slower (choppy infact) as compared to
my ancient 900 Mhz Athlong with RIVA TNT !.
This problem occurs wether I use the XFree86 Vesa driver or
the Proprietary ATI fglrx-driver. I configured the latter
with aticonfig --initial and even tried aticonfig --ovt Xvideo
after that. xine-check reports that my video card does not
support "yv12 overlays" and hence DVD playing will be very
CPU intensive .
Any suggestions ?
