Hello, I run freevo since 2 years on a P3 450 with 256MB RAM and a gf2mx400. The box is connected via composite to my TV and runs debian sid. Recording TV and watching DVDs works fine, but sometimes the machine slows down because it swaps around. A memory upgrade is not possible because the mobo does not support more than 256MB.
Perhaps I should use a framebuffer device instead of x11 because x11 needs a lot of memory? I searched in the mailinglist-archive and found some mails about using a framebuffer-device on a gf2. I tried to activate it (vga=0x735 video=rivafb:ywrap) but only got a blue screen. It remained black after starting freevo. Has anyone success running freevo with framebuffer on a gf2mx?
