Re: [Freevo-users] Someone interested to help us with freepia?
I have just finished the driver side of my new EPIA-M1 setup based on redhat and am willing to help. I do not know how much time I will have available to put into this but can certainly offer assistance. BTW: I was planning to borrow a good digital camera this weekend and make a webpage for my epia-based box and was planning to add some experience with setting the d*rn thing up software-wise. (like the things one should NOT do on a redhat system when one wants to use drivers from VIA as well as standard drivers and compile alsa and lirc..) BTW2: TV capture is stil broken for me with mplayer (from freevo 1.3.4) but I hope that is a freefo issue which is fixed in 1.4. So I'll try rc3 any day now. BTW3: Pls mail me directly on paul AT sijben DOT net for off-list stuff. Paul Florian Rustedt wrote: Am Montag, 3.

TV-Out is BIOS-side, means you can use the TV from the begin, don't have to wonder about drivers, etc It's defenitely build for multimedia-use, not for gaming, but it needs only a 60Watt power-supply because of the CPU-type, so it can be build in very small cases with minimum additional hardware... --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.

RE: [Freevo-users] Someone interested to help us with freepia?
www.mini-itx.com All the answers you need. Note the 1ghz ITX boards are NOT the same as a 1ghz AMD or P4 they are equlivant to a P-III 866 in processing power. do NOT expect to play high intensity games on them, or achieve good multimedia playback without their special drivers that use the hardware acceleration on the board. if you want something close to that but faster, get a ECS K7SOM+ motherboard. AMS Duron 1.3Ghz, video,sound,100baseT onboard and uses ddr ram with 2 pci slots. This is what I use for my freevo boxes (8 now and 1 more ready to be built) coupled with a coolermaster 610 case a ATI tv wonder VE and a used hollywood+ card + 128meg of ram and I'm making freevoboxes for less than $350.00 minus the hard drive and DVD/CDR read drive. -Original Message- From: Tom Weichmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 3:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Someone interested to help us with freepia?
