Work has just begun on a forum specifically for the EPIA range. It is
still very new but asking questions there will probably generate more
interest.

It has a slant towards getting myth and the epia to play nice with
Gentoo linux but its worth a look. Other people including myself have
had good success with RedHat 9.0 and I think a few on this list use
Mandrake. I'm working on a howto for Gentoo right now to add to the
forum, check back in a day or so when I've compiled everything.

My only guess is that you messed up the hue settings, check the keys.txt
file for how to fiddle this and see if it is at one end of the scale or
the other. Other than that I'm not sure.
