Seemant: does this sound like a good idea or not? I don't know if this advice is reliable or not. A peice of additional information: MPlayer when playing videos and not compiling with this option says to do this in order to enhance performance. It gives this warning at the beginning of the text displayed. mplayer.c does state this. It also states that --disable-runtime-cpudetection is more stable at the moment. -ryan Daniel, yes this is sound advice. In my little experiment on mplayer-cvs, I had actually enabled it. Thank you for dwight :) |
MPlayer, from what I understand runs better with the cpu runtime detection disabled. Seeing as it is being build on a per system basis, this should be done. Here is the diff to make this happen. 139c139 < ./configure --disable-runtime-cpudetection --prefix=/usr \ --- > ./configure --prefix=/usr \
