Tried Warsow and it does use 100% CPU, but it does on my other box with a 6200 in it too.

I am experiencing the same problem with a 8400GS card.
It only happens in fullscreen mode, I am using the build from 05/11/08 and the latest nvidia drivers - 169.12.
It is not a huge deal as videos work fine and use less cpu (on average) than XBMC does when idling.

Hi,
One thing that worked for me, Open Nvidia x server settings, go to Open gl settings, uncheck the box called "Allow flipping"(or similar).
No idea what it means, or if it´s bad... But it could be worth a try.

I don't have 100% CPU in Fullscreen, 'only' ~5%.
Machine:
AMD 3200+
Nvidia 6200 AGP
2GB
Ubuntu 8.04 Server
Xorg
XBMC from PPA Repro
I start Xorg (with nvidia module) and XBMC with a startscript. I did not use any WM or DM; maybe thats the problem?

Hi,
I've got the same problem with XBMC svn (from ppa repository) and Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE. I tried both VBLANK variable and NoFlip Option, but my CPU still remains near to 100%. Can Someone help me, maybe pasting their xorg.conf file? I don't use DM, I just start XBMC using "xinit xbmc".
Many thanks,
Scido

Thanks tslayer for your reply.
I try to paste your xorg.conf section, but nothing changes.
Can you help me to find the source of the problem? I checked the log and it seems that everything is fine. I really don't know where look at.
Thank you,
Scido

OK, I resolved!!!!
I just had to cancel the /etc/asound.conf file, created when I installed pulseaudio in gutsy. Now everything works very very well!!!
Thanks,
Bye
