Linux Laptop able to run xbmcbuntu?
#1
I have installed xbmcbuntu on an old laptop of mine, which contains:

- Intel® Core™ Duo Processor T2050 (2M Cache, 1.60 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)
- 2GB memory
- ATI Mobility Radeon™ X1600 with Support for Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 Shader Model 3.0

It is really lagging, I can't even control the mouse normally. Colors are distorted, and the system info is barely readable. I notice that it displays in a 1024x768 resolution with only a few frames per second, so that would explain the display quality and lagging. CPU also seems pretty busy, although it's just running idle.

Is this laptop just not able to run it? Or could it be something else?

Update: image and colors are distorted when I move the mouse point, but if I just let the system run idle for a while the image and colors suddenly change to normal and good quality. Until I move the mouse again. I think it's all just because the laptop is not powerful enough, but that's just a gut feeling. I would just like to know some other opinions about it.
