Hi,

the logging is more useful for the new bug report I suppose (have to gather it too).

Setup:

3.12 with ZFS modules
Gentoo ~amd64
Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3 mainboard
Core i3 4130
4GB RAM

Issue:

Playback of videos runs at about 1 frame per 5-8 seconds (estimated) it's not watchable (far far from it). This happens with both XBMC and mplayer (except with mplayer with -vo gl which does work). Also didn't notice the issues on my Samsung SyncMaster 204B monitor (20" 1600x1200, dated) which I used for the initial installation. The plasma TV is supposed to be the primary (and only) monitor thus.

When using mplayer (without -vo gl) I had the Kicking stuck wait on render ring messages. XBMC gave no errors whatsover, not in Xorg.0.log either (but haven't run with the drm.debug=6 yes).

I said it's in XV, but that's probably incorrect as it did work originally on my Samsung monitor. More accurate is that it occurs with XV and not with GL video output on mplayer. This is true for both DVI->HDMI (although that worked properly once - can't reproduce) and HDMI->HDMI (never seen this working but as stated can't reproduce it on DVI->HDMI either so might not mean anything).

There is no monitor configuration. I believe it's not required for a long time due to KMS. The X11 config is very basic (just ran X11 -config or -configure to create a base template - been doing this for years and seems to be fine with the monitor (but not the TV) thus).

I will retest everything with current GIT and 3.12 and might test it with the monitor and perhaps the TV in the bedroom as well. Doubt changing cables will help considering the issues exist on DVI->HDMI too (that already is a separate cable, not a converter plug). With the drm.debug=6 oc.

Is there anything else you'd like me to do whilst I'm at it? :).
