real linux hacking
I’ll admit, I’ve been a little obsessive recently. I’ve been working almost non-stop on getting my mini-ITX form factor EPIA M10000 Nehemia up and running Linux and my favorite open-source project, MythTV. I am almost there. Holy moly. I’ve recompiled an epia-patched 2.6.8 kernel, re-compiled XFree86 4.4 with unichrome via driver support, and it is amazing. The vanilla (default) XFree86 that used a generic VESA driver scared me, when I loaded up the ivtv drivers for my Hauppauge PVR 350, it was extremely choppy, but the new XFree86 with unichrome and video-4-linux extensions, are unbelievably smooth for such a small machine! MythTV 0.16 is a go, unbelievable! Full write-up coming soon!

Like I was following everything you said, except you left the final “h” off of the “M10000 Nehemiah” and totally threw me off. Otherwise I’m totally hip to what you are saying …. Yeah, I understood, like totally …. Yeah right….
