cpu usage...

I just played a dvd simultaneously on two screens with ogle, pretty much the
same cpu usage, about 30% with an Athlon 3000+.  You get a really cool echo
when you hit play on both screens just out of sync.
Playing them one at a time, it almost seemed the pci card (not agp) has
slightly lower cpu usage.
These are with nvidia cards, a 5200 agp and a 4000 pci.
You should try out our old live cd (the new one uses Xephyr, so no xv) to
make sure it isn't your software.
The old demo is available at
http://ftp.open-sense.net/badger/groovix_badger_live_20051222.iso
I don't remember right now if that old demo uses nv or nvidia drivers, but
it can easily be switched and gdm restarted.
If you want to do a fresh Ubuntu install, just run this one command after
installing Ubuntu to turn your system into a Groovix multi-user system:

wget groovix.com/support/ubuntu/dapper/groovix_setup.bash -O - | bash

It could be some sort of software issue, or configuration -- are you using
the same user settings on both displays?  Are you sure both are using XV?
