Hi Akeilo, > Regarding Openchrome driver, did you try version 3 of the OTC (without > openchrome driver, viachrome driver instead) v.s. version 4 of OTC > (openchrome introduced)?

In our most common cases, most all apps are run remotely in Remote Desktop sessions, so the local performance isn't the main issue. That's one of the reasons why we are interested in de-tuning the hardware. Curiously, the BIOS(es) for these VIA platforms don't seem to support under-clocking the CPU either. > One current fact about the OTC on VIA at least (havent tried others) is > there is no power saving enabled. i.e. if you leave the OTC PC on, it > wont go to powersave mode or screensaver or lock the desktop of the > user - which are not only heat-generating issues but security as well. > > I am very interested to know if there could be utilization of VIA > PowerSaver or alternate methods to cool these puppies under OTC - also > think of the basic security/savings measures of enabling screensaver > and desktop lock after certain period/key-combination like windowsKey+L > in WINDOWS. I would also like to know how to enable a password-enabled screen saver/blanker that will also allow the monitor to turn itself off. I haven't begun researching that yet... Thanks for any suggestions from anyone.
