I've never talked about decoding - video decoding does not utilizes CPU so much
and the overheating is really big (playing the movie with about 25 minutes
causes that GPU is really overheating my system and slowing down FPS). Think to
know is that it is happening only in kaffeine, mplayer works a bit better. I
gonna try changing video outputs and tell you if it helped.
But what i DONT think is, that it is not a bug or invalid - yep, R600 have just
initial support, but this is really critical problem, because some of laptops
could be destroyed with overheating, its a bit dangerous. So think to say is -
this is a bug and should stay opened until some fix gonna be found.
