Hello,
I'd like to ask if it is possible to somehow tweak multimedia performance. The problem is with movies - if I resize a player window to be too big (or worse - go fullscreen) the frame rate is so low that it's simply unwatchable and after a while it freezes completely (only the player). If the window is small enough it's fine but from time to time (like every 2 minutes) the screen goes black for a second or two. It doesn't matter what player I use or what format the movie has - it happens every time (no trouble with sound by the way).
However, this issue doesn't affect just movies but KDE, too. I'm using XFCE but I tried to install KDE and it was horribly slow - even opening Dolphin was a challenge and mouse was constantly disappearing and reappearing. KDE doesn't bother me, though, but the movies do (but I'm guessing the reason is the same - something about codecs but I know too little about this to be able to tweak it). I have tried to increase the kern.ipc.shmmax and kern.ipc.shmall as instructed in documentation (although I had to increase the numbers greatly because my original values were far higher by default) but it doesn't have any impact.
I have
in my make.conf and everything compiled from ports. My laptop has Intel HD video adapter - the
It also has a nVidia adapter but since it's Optimus (which is unsupported in FreeBSD as I hear it) I don't think it's even being used for anything. But here's the output for it:
Thanks for any suggestions.
