8 Year old Dell inspiron E1505. Loving the low CPU and memory footprint. I have actually never seen this hardware play 1080p video smoothly before installing LXLE. Video plays smoothly in 1080p with minitube and VLC, and 720p in youtube HTML5 (the latter at 95% CPU).
Flash video and minitube in minimized (non full screen) view have crackling sound. I tried tsched=0 in /etc/pulse/default.pa as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting but crackling persists. (No crackling on full screen minitube, youtube HTML5 or VLC. youtube.com/live uses flash only.)
Thanks for the link @lxle I've seen that thread but I have TLP uninstalled, so the settings file /etc/default/tlp no longer exists in my installation. The sound crackling in flash video and downscaled HD has unfortunately persisted through uninstallation of TLP.
LXLE 32bit 12.04.5 on Dell Inspiron E1505, Intel core duo HDA sound, ATI X1400 graphics, internal LVDS 1280x1200, external VGA 1920x1200
1 Model: Packard Bell Dot S 2 Processor type: Intel Atom N2600 3 Storage: 320 GB HDD 4 RAM: 1 GB DDR3 5 Video card: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3600 LXLE 14.04 works well, unlike Windows 7 Starter which is pre-loaded on this netbook. The only problem with LXLE I've found so far is that many of its games don't work - the sound works but the screen is blank. Can anyone suggest what might cause that?
@lxle Biniax - Works but is windowed only. Chromium BSU - Works windowed. Doesn't work full-screen: blank screen with enlarged mouse pointer only. CriticalMass - Goes straight to full-screen: blank screen with enlarged mouse pointer only. DreamChess - Works fine in full-screen. FloboPuyo - Goes straight to full-screen: blank screen. Hearts - Works in both window and full-screen. LBreakout2 - Works in window; full-screen is blank.
