Hi,
I'm running XBMC on a ubuntu / xubuntu htpc with an ION 330 inside since some time now. The specific version is:
I configured it properly to use vdpau to render video and thus hd content is rendered by the gpu. But still xbmc uses quite a lot of cpu, probably to render the UI. I however wonder why on Windows Vista such problems don't exist? And as such I come to my question:
Is there a way I can configure XBMC to be rendered in hardware, rather than software?
