>It has an nVidia Quadro NVS 140M video card with 256M RAM (which is apparently the minimum video memory necessary).
A recent post by JYA confirmed only 256M was necessary for HD, its the extra myth stuff that adds a higher requirement such as OSD
(and I am not sure what else)
As you know the Dell Spec says:
nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M - 256 MB of video memory (dedicated) at <512 MB of system memory, or 512 MB of video memory (dedicated plus
shared) >= 1 GB of system memory
How do you know you only have 256M of useable video RAM?
As best I can tell the NVS 140M should have 512M available when there is 4G motherboard RAM installed as you report.
How much RAM does "NVIDIA X Server Settings" say under the "GPU 0" Tab?
I found one report of someone who thought they had 256M but in their X log it said: (--) NVIDIA(0): Memory: 524288 kBytes What
does yours say?
Interesting about mplayer, it does seem to suggest there may be a problem with the mplayer deinterlacer settings?
I've decided to have a go with one of these rigs also, so if I get myth(buntu) working properly I'll post.
