I'm building my Freevo on an S-Presso barebones box. This comes with a mini
distro, which is probably in violation of the GPL.
Asus, who make this do not offer source code to the distro - which would be a
great thing indeed.
I joined the Asus forum, mentioned gpl-violations.org and within hours
I'm trying to setup freevo on fedora 4 using an ATI Radeon 9200. I've
got the ATI drivers installed ( fglrx ) and setup dual-head. Everything
works pretty good except when I view a movie, in freevo, mplayer or xine

Any Idea wha the mini distro is? They should have a good shot at

already familiar with the GPL issues they are going to run into.

This is a common problem that I share with you. I

me wrong! There is a bug report for it but it hasn't
been fixed for a long time. A very old driver worked
but caused terrible freezes on resolution change,
etc... The bug report is:

They do have to make the GPLed code available. If they have made any
mod's to the code to get it to work on their hardware then those have
to be released. If they have written all new code under a different
lic. they can keep that. I just want to be able to get what I am
legally entitled

Thanks for the info! At least now I know it's not user error. I'll give
the gl or x11 a try. I was afraid of trying x11 just because the box i'm
using is pretty ancient. But I'll see what i can come up with.
