[mythtv-users] The new PUNDIT-R, first findings

ASUS has changed the PUNDIT motherboard and dropped the Sis chipset for
a new ATI one. Just spent a few hours trying to use it as a Myth box.

First problem was that the onboard NIC wasn't loaded properly with the
Linux-Rescue CD I use to put my Linux diskimage on a new system (damn!).
I added an old PCI nic I had laying around and installed the image (Myth
CVS from last week with Slackware current, 2.4.26 kernel) and we where
off..

- soundcard is an AD1888 and is supported by ALSA since version 1.0.3
(this works!!)

- graphics card from the ATI 9100 IGP chipset is the RS300 and this is
supported (accelrated 2D) by the radeon driver that is shipped with
XFree86 4.4. This works but I haven't tried TV-out stuff if there is any
in the Radeon driver? (http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/radeon.4.html). This
driver is also on the CD provided by ASUS. 
Downgraded to Xfree4.3 and tried the prop. ATI drivers for the Radeon
9100 series from the ATI site but that doesn't seem to work (device not
found).
Had a look at the Gatos site but could't really find anything usefull.

- USB and pcmcia seems to work just fine. Haven't tried the memory card
reader or firewire.

- tried the NIC again (3Com Corporation: Unknown device 9202 (rev 40))
This should supported by the the 3c59x module but modprobing just gives
me a device not found.

Conclusion : The NIC problem shouldn't be to hard to solve, TV-out might
be more of a challenge at the moment (or just go for a PVR350). But
apart from these issues I have a fully working Myth-box with a PVR250.

One more thing, they dropped the optical IN connector on the front
pannel in case anyone needs that.
