View Full Version : 100% CPU in fullscreen in XBMC Live as well
I am experiencing the same issue regarding CPU utilization with my 8600GT and intel E8200 as in XBMC for Linux.
I was lost in the past, where it could be cured by "NoFlip" "1" (this is might be an outdated solution now), but I cannot find xorg.conf in XBMC Live.
Could anyone assist me where to find (if even exist), or suggest an other possible solution?
Thank you!
No feedback so far, so is my question that dumb, or is there a trivial solution, that I missed? Or nobody else experinecing 100% CPU utilization in the main screen?
There are many threads on this. Same issues probably seen with Live and will hopefully be fixed for final.
But ya, NoFlip is probably needed. You'll have to get to a shell and find the xorg.conf.
try a : find / -name "xorg.conf"
Usually should be in /etc/X11
Thanks for the help, tslayer!
It was my bad! Certainly I was aware of the other threads, but when I tried to locate xorg.conf, I was looking at /etc/x11 (with small x), and neither realized it is there after an ls command. As a result of this, I though it is somewhere else. Sorry for this.
All in all, NoFLip did the trick, thanks!
Just two more questions:
- how to get out into the shell from XBMC LIVE itself? (I was using ssh connection to edit xorg.conf)
- If the solution is that easy as adding NoFLip, why it is not implemented as a final solution? Is there any side effect os this?
Thank you!
If you have a working xorg.conf in linux just add a folder called "config" in the root of the USB Drive, in windows or linux or whatever. And just add the xorg.conf in there and XBMC Live will automagically use that one.
Edit. The reason for not adding noflip in gold is because we don't generate the xorg.conf. X.Org itself does this, and I don't think we can alter this (Sure we could go into it and mess with it bash style but that might be bad)

Until ther are no confirmation that noflip can be utilised for ALL NVIDIA cards without side effects you are due to modify xorg.conf yourself as Topfs2 explained.
