Hmm. I just got my board. I'm running latest EPIA Nehemia 1GHz board. I installed Mandrake 9.1 on it. I didn't do anything special and just used default video driver. I notice that my divx movie is pixelated and gets out of syn with audio fairly quickly. It is using about 65% CPU playing video and another program is using up most of rest.
Does this video driver or accel driver have a name? I'm looking to fix my problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "and" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 9:39 AM Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Epia Mini-ITX Capabilities? > if you use redhat you can use the binary drivers from VIA that > accelerated everything and gives access to the mpeg decoder in hardware > and that would certainly make a movie fly....I'm using m10k and it > seems to work fine even if you can only get the drivers for a few > distros/versions > anders > > On Friday, August 29, 2003, at 07:09 AM, Brett Grayson (Bitwerks) wrote: > > > FWIW ... my EPIA 800 would play DiVX on freevo, but it would skip a > > bit.
