<br>For that matter, is there anyone running linux on a mini that can testify to its 1080i playback capabilities? I have a linux frontend that has a similar Intel 945 graphics chipset, and a not horribly slower 3Ghz P4, and it has trouble playing back 720p content.
<br><br>I've read on the list that the newest Xorg and intel drivers improve this situation, but is completely unclear to me how to get those. <br></div><br></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>TV/IT Engineer<br>WCJB-TV Gainesville, FL
