I guess that the second means I don't have hardware aceleration.
What does the first one mean?
From sysinfo:/ :
Display Info
Vendor: Mesa Project
Model: Software Rasterizer
Driver: 2.1 Mesa 7.1 rc1
No mention of my geforce graphics card (GX5200LE 128 MB AGP).
Would this sort of thing cause mplayer and ffplay to freeze?
Each of them last a couple before seconds before freezing.
ffplay keeps a little over 1% of the cpu.
Don't remember about mplayer.
Rebooting has mplayer and ffplay running again.
I even have sound.
mplayer occasionally claims my system is too slow.
This is likely because I still have software rendering?
True?
Not true. Software rendering refers to the display of 3D objects in
OpenGL. Unless you have a very strange setup, mplayer won't be using
OpenGL to display video data.
I've got a box with a geforce 5200 LE, and it displays video just fine
if I use the "evil" Nvidia driver. The "nouveau" driver (which you
probably have) isn't quite ready for prime time.
I get the driver from the Nvidia website, but it can also be yummed from
the rpmfusion-nonfree repo.

John
