Qt for hardware acceleration
-
I'm using Qt3.3 to display some big picture which size to 1920*1080(png, jpeg, bmp), and I need to switch picture display one by one. During the switch process, I also add some transition effect. My computer is Atom N270 with GM950, and I install Ubuntu 10.04. I try to use this computer display a 720p video, this video display only cost 30-40% cpu. But when I use qt to display the big picture and doing transition, the cpu will be occupied by 90%+. I use ‘top' command to see that X11 takes almost 60% cpu and my program takes 30%+ cpu.
I test display picture with QImage and QPixmap. When use QImage, the QImage.drawImage will cost cpu. But in using QPixmap, I have to convert QImage to QPixmap and display, the convert cost cpu. Is there any function can use the GM950 hardware acceleration to display these big picture in Qt window?

Using OpenGL is a no-go for you?

Also, please update Qt if at all possible. Qt 3.3 is really old. It is no longer supported.
