It was one of the very reasons I wanted this setup. If running Linux had been the higher priority and I'd researched it further, I might have gone with a board with nNividia graphics (or installed a video card after running into problems), but Linux was only installed to see how it might work, so no biggie.
You've been around a while, so no doubt remember how poorly embedded video has performed in the past. That's not the case any more. For a desktop system for office work, web browsing, and audio and video playback there's absolutely no reason these days for using a separate video card. Even a lot of graphics intense games run surprisingly well with the newest generation of embedded video. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60817 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
