That was what's happening with my efforts the past week. Spending night
awake till 3am pulling hairs out and having to wake up at couple of
hours later for the day job :-(

Not Fun!

Right now, it works because I've built the newest Xorg from
boom.kalf.org (IIRC) which as the ebuild for xorg-x11 w/ the unichrome
patches etc.

Mplayer works, xine works w/ no lockups.

However, there's some serious frame drops. both Mplayer and xine uses up
to 99% of CPU time and still have issues.

I've not had time last night to get it all sorted (YET).

Well, for me, obviously something is missing cos it's using 99% CPU.

Check out the ebuild from the link. (I got it from the unichrome-users
mail list)

examples please.

And dudes.. just saw the new EPIA TC models which comes with a DC
converter. Now that is cool, not ATX power supplies to lug around. BTW,
does anyone have any sort of solution for changing the power supply to
use the normal AC 240 current via an adapter or something??
