It looks promising, I'm myself looking for H.264 HDTV decoding capable 
micro-ATX motherboard and wondering if there are alternatives for 
Nvidia's working but closed binary stuff where e.g. HDMI audio support 
won't be available in Linux according to nvidia's comments in their 
forum. Do the current x.org development drivers for AMD GPUs provide 
smooth SDTV and HDTV playback into DVI/HDMI with xine based software 
decoding with a powerful enough CPU (e.g. 45W rated Athlon 64 X2 4850E)?

BR,
Seppo

I know, I'm already running vdr on it. So far, it only works with AMD's 
Catalyst driver, but 780G is up next for the radeonhd project. It's gong 
to be very interesting to see how far they can push the performace on 
it. And it's nice to see AMD helping the open-source community by 
providing alsa drivers themselves. So now I have working HDMI audio as well.
