Need the bleeding edge for trying out nvidia drivers - they are closed. I will only be testing and then seeing what needs to be tweaked with the open nv drivers. Basically just building a home entertainment box. Problem is that my mom and dad need to operate it with a remote. So lotsa lirc stuff and tv mode. It rocks as it is, but asking mom to fire up a shell and type in some commands is a nono - for now. Had to install lidvdcss2 for playing those drmd shit. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
