both AMD processors between 94% - 97% usage constantly - lwvdzalm - 2012-06-05

I've XBMCbuntu Eden running on a Acer Aspire L5100 mediacenter (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 5000+ 2.6 GHz and 2 GB ram) but when I start XBMC both processors will peak between 94% – 97% usage constantly (all the time while XBMC is running) so that the performance of the XBMC menu is very poor. Do anyone have any suggestion? Many thanks in advance!

sounds like you have gl driver issues.

what GFX card do you have?

Integrated ATI Radeon X700....

no hardware acceleration with this card(too old). It should work with software rendering(not sure about 1080p), but you need a gfx driver with opengl support for the GUI. If you are already running the radeon driver(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver) and still get that high CPU usage, you are out of luck.

Thanks...I'll check this driver!
