Hi all, I have a box with an EPIA M board (Nehemiah 1GHz) which includes a CLE266 card. Previously I installed on it Ubuntu 7.10, which worked ok. I used the 'via' xorg driver which came with the distro (I think it was not using acceleration) and could watch DiVX and even DVD (sometime a little slow) with mplayer.
Now I have 'upgraded' the box to Debian stable (5.0). This distro comes with two drivers which work with my hardware, xerver-xorg-video-via and xerver-xorg-video-openchrome. Unfortunately, with both drivers, mplayer (and also vlc) causes random freezes of the box. By random I mean that it plays for a while, but usually the freeze occurs in the first half-hour. I think it crashes the kernel, not just freezes X, because after that I cannot reach the box by network. If I use the x11 driver with mplayer (no hw accell) it works, but the image is much smaller than the whole screen (32" LCD TV with PC video in). And if I use the software zoom, it becomes too slow. I also tried with players of the -xine variety, but they are too slow for the box. Anybody knows how to fix this, without having to reinstall the old distro? Ciao -------- FB
