Re: mplayer very slow in full screen

You may get lucky from reading this thread but it appears not all HD3200 graphics are equal. Mine works great with fullscreen HD video using the "git" ati & drm AUR packages.

My lspci -v is different (RS780...):

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30e4
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
        Memory at 80000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at 5000 [size=256]
        Memory at 94300000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Memory at 94200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

The only Xorg errors I get:

$ grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Current Operating System: Linux clod 2.6.29-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 29 15:36:46 CEST 2009 x86_64

(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

I use EXA acceleration:
