The generic frame buffer does not work. I am using the sisfb driver.

I thought that the X window system itself is "un-needed bloat" compared to the frame buffer solution. But perhaps I am missing something here. I will try your suggestion. Perhaps the bloat really only consists in the window manager. KDE really needs a little time to start up. > > use the sis driver in Xfree86. although the vesa driver also works with > this chipset and still enables the XV playback acceleration on mpeg2 > files. There is one sis driver in debian woody which does not seem to work.

Ok, I have heard of this. But it was really easy to get OSS running and it sounds good...

Yes, that's one reason I have bought exactly this box. It should have a really good TV out. Which I haven't even tried out yet...
