I avoided upgrading to the new driver due to negative early reports, but I should really try the new one, see if it helps. I have everything running through TV-out on the VIA board. I am running at 800x600. Dont have my exact xorg.conf to hand, but I'm using PAL. Thanks for the tip. Matt Jonas

I don't use EPIA for myth but I don know that the C3 is not a single core and some C3 processors actually compile better as i586... So does this mean there's a mini-ITX board for sale, or were you just getting discouraged? -- Thanks, Devan Lippman [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 4/13/05, Michael Carland

I agree it isn't the easiest thing to get working. The first time I did it, it took 4 days to get working, a lot of that was compile time however. The second time I did it (after I hosed one of the partitions, entirely my fault), it only took about a day and a half, this time almost only compile

Hello, AFAIK, there is no way you are going to be running on an EPIA without building a kernel on your own, so having to compile in support for temp monitoring and speed changes shouldn't be a big addition. KnoppMyth R5A12. Using the CD as a frontend takes about 50% CPU. Installing to hard
