I'm curious to know if there's a noticeable difference in cpu load using compiled-from-source vs. binary packages. > The box is a pundit-r barebone, with an igp9100 ati graphic chipset, HT > pentium-iv.

I have an ati radeon 9700 pro in mine, and with the stock xorg drivers with debian etch, I couldn't get tv out working (I believe support is not included yet). Did you patch your drivers with the patches from gatos or are you using stock drivers? I ended up using vesa to get tv out and have mplayer outputting to xvidix, which works quite nicely. I'm replacing my ati card with a matrox 450 to reduce the fan noise a bit and so I can tune the overscan to my liking. The fan on my 9700 pro is one I bought to replace the original one when it gave out, and it is just a cheap noisy fan. Also, I have read the matrox does a framebuffer with a resolution equal to the resolution of the normal tv image (no scaling), and it can output frames to the tv interlaced for smoother playback.
