Since LinuxCNC doesn't really support 64bit that is kind of a moot point. Most CNC machine applications don't need hi-res graphics, so most users are fine with the default generic vesa driver graphics, at least that is all I'm using on mine. All this was fine for me since the only thing the computer is used for is to run the machine. If I need to do computer work, like cad cam or anything else, I use my office computer where I can sit down in quiet.
----- Original Message ----- Hi all, I'm looking for an ITX-sized motherboard that will work well with linuxcnc. I now have an Atom DN2800MT which has a lot of positives: - powered from a single DC-jack - passive cooling (just a slow case-fan is enough I assume) - HDMI output However there seems to be one *big* minus which is the CedarView integrated graphics chip. First they are only available on recent Ubuntu distributions and second only on the 32-bit versions (not 64-bit). Thirdly I have now tried a fresh install of 12.04LTS (which works, but the graphics are slow and the resolution wrong with the generic driver) on this board and the cedarview graphics driver install always fails rendering the machine unusable (garbled screen at bootup). The board has a single PCIE slot which I don't want to use for a graphics card since I want to use it for a Mesa FPGA-card. Any ideas or suggestions?
