I take it you found the wiki documentation lacking? You can help improve it. THere is a small ilnk at the bottom which ordinary users can use to help improve the documentation.
I think one of the problems freevo suffers from is the general driver problem. I was lucky in that I found this project before I had a tv out card and a tv tuner card. So i was able to get the supported hardware after some research. But for people that already had this stuff working under other operating systems it can be a chore. also there are a couple setup options you can go with depending on your hardware. If you have been snooping around the docs you will see references to framebuffer only setups as well as X windows configurations and again the driving factor between those two are hardware. Also some people use dxr3 cards which also complicate things setup wise. And then of course there is the joy of soundcards and linux. This has creaped up again as people want to use some of the smaller Shuttle systems or some of the other small form factor systems which have sound systems linux supports poorly or only in recent kernels. And then just when you thought everything was all set there are those european guys with their PAL standard versus the us (U.S.) with our NTSC standard, enough to drive you batty. (this is for tv output in case you are not already familiar) There is alot to learn on this project I am finally getting a good hang of it after five months tinkering and going through stuff. I hoping now to go back through the documentation and improve it. Feel free to help out if you have found some good clues regarding your setup.
