Anyone running FreeBSD 4.x or 5.x on a 'VIA EPIA PD' mini-ITX
Hi, Anyone running FreeBSD 4.x or 5.x on a 'VIA EPIA PD' mini-ITX I would be interested to see if you get the full chipset functionality, ie. both NIC's, IDE HD, VGA (X-Windows or just CLI), Audio, USB? How about the Digital IO section? They look very nice :-) http://www.viaembedded.com/product/4/8/epia_pdh.jpg Cheers, Paul Hamilton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How about the Digital IO section?

The NICs, HDD, USB, CLI work fine. Audio and X-Windows should work too. (I have only tested this on an EPIA M-1, but there it worked without any problems. The onboard graphic chip is fast enough for most 2D application, but it was to slow for me to playback xvid/divx, but an additional PCI graphic card should solve this problem.) When transfering data via ftp I get about 10MB/s up/down. Make buildworld takes about two hours. All in all, it is a nice system and fits my needs. I like it.

Cool! Thanks Andreas. I am thinking of using one for the same thing.
