[mythtv-users] Looking for onboard VGA that can support VGA to Scart

[Paul Gardiner]

I've been experimenting with an old server that
has a Radeon 9000 card, running the VGA output
into my TV's Scart socket using the circuit from
the MythTV Wiki. It gives superb image quality
and fluidity of motion. At last I'm getting quality
from MythTV that equals my old DVRs.

Now I'm looking to build a new frontend based on
something similar to the experiment. It would be
great if I could find a motherboard with onboard
Radeon 9000, because then I could expect it to
work the same, but there is no such motherboard
(I think there used to be one with a built in
Radeon 9200, but that was maybe 4 years ago).

Can anyone give me any recommedations? The onboard
graphics must be able to output with interlacing
and with a dot clock rate down to 13.5MHz. Also
it needs to have driver support for xvmc.

Any advice welcomed. Perhaps I'm already going
the wrong way. Would I be better to get a low profile
Geforce 5200 rather than onboard graphics - the
main thing I'm worried about is keeping it small
and quite.

Also any advice on fanless power supplies, quietest
CPU fans, anything like that.

Cheers,
	Paul.
