I don't need DVI, in fact would prefer S-Video. I have a Radeon on a HTPC
in the movie room that runs the projector for DVI. This is going in the
living room, so really I just need the S-vid. As for no fan, that sounds
like a big plus for noise.
This driver issue bothers me though. I plan on running RedHat with KDE,
do you think I will have any problems with it's hardware MPEG2?
