I know that the drivers are still under work for linux but I was wondering if it is possible for me to watch 1080p videos off of my netbook in ubuntu Karmic at a decent frame rate.
Specs
Dell Mini 9
GMA 950 (no Nvidia Ion)
Broadcom Crystal BCM70012
History
*I followed a guide on this forum and had no option for the crystalhd.
*Reinstalled using someones tips moving the firmware to the folders needed and had the option for the crystalhd decoding in XBMC.
When I play 720p with the crystal it runs at 24fps with 20%cpu use, compared to 90%+ without it. But, 1080p content runs at 5fps with about 20% cpu usage as well.
Is this just the specifications of this decoder without an ion?
Do I need to wait in order for the software to be up and running on linux?
Or am I missing something in order to run 1080p at a decent frame rate?
(I tried a bunch of the tips people have suggusted like low quality desktop environment, no Nvidia running (I dont have any), Removing Alsa).
Thanks for the help, hopefully everyone else it the same boat can use this too.
