No, 750 MHz are definitely NOT too slow. On my K7/1000 machine it takes about 40% CPU for fullscreen using sdl/x11/xv driver on a Matrox G200. Is it really slow or do you mean mplayer's stupid error message that "your system is too slow to play this"? This always happens when a single frame cannot be displayed, e.g. because of switching to a different workspace of your windowmanager. > 3) mplayer -vo gl[2] will throw X into a hissy fit, leaving me > with a core dump from XFree :-( This sometimes happens here, too. In the other cases, gl and gl2 are just very slow and so I don't use it. This X crash problem is afaik caused by XFree, not mplayer.
