Trying your debian image (on a cubieboard, because I don't have lime yet) was kinda a wake up call for me. And I have also seen some other less than perfect linux distros earlier. People here may be developing some nice software, trying their best to optimize it, but still get their efforts wasted by the "last mile" problem. If distro maintainers don't do a really good job, then the end users have poor experience and a wrong impression about the performance of the hardware. I'll try to make a desktop linux demo image available in a few days, so that people could compare it with their current distros :) > Dimitar is trying to make one now with acceleration enabled, meantime > we will release Android image which will have video play hardware > accelerated, so if one wants to use Lime as video player will be able > to do so under Android.

IMHO it does not make much sense to waste time on XBMC hacks anymore, because we already have an alternative solution for hardware accelerated video playback, which is 100% free software. I mean libvdpau-sunxi. -- Best regards, Siarhei Siamashka -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
