    Dear All,

    I used for a long time Fedora Core 1 on my 1GHz
    Pentium III, 256Mb RAM and NVidia FX5200 grahic
    chipset.
    Mplayer was successfully playing dvd using more or
    less 30% cpu.

    Last Mont I upgraded to Fedora Core 2, installed the
    latest driver from Nvidia (6106) from the nvidia site,
    followed the same instruction as before included in
    the readme file for the driver... but now the mplayer
    use 100% cpu to playback dvd.
    Also ogle and xine use the same amount of cpu :-(

    HW is not changed, everything in the system tell me
    that the pc is using hardware acceleration but I think
    this not the case...how can I solve the problem?

    thanks in advance,
    Paolo
