hey all.

without gl support, its slow slow slow, but it wouldn't even compile from head. i made a small patch that fixes it and have uploaded it to the SF patch tracker. Request ID 1842568.

Text is still not displayed correctly, but the box I'm using to explore this project with (C2.4/512/gf5200) doesn't have opengl2.0 support. I have a second box I will be using this one that has a gf6200 so it performs nicely, but heres a patch to make non-gl work. :)

Thanks :)

I would have thought a gf5200 should be enough for opengl that we need shouldn't it?

Cheers,
Jonathan

You don't need OpenGL 2.0 for XBMC to run. OpenGL 2.0 adds pixel shaders which removes the load off the CPU when doing color-space conversion from YUV to RGB. OpenGL 1.4 (or maybe even 1.3) is good enough.

yea. I installed the nvidia drivers and opengl works fine with the mx5200. the patch i submitted still fixes the ability to compile without gl support.
