Re: NetBSD on a mini-ITX motherboard?



I (technically my daughter) watched a cartoon (DVD image) using the
openchrome driver and it works as good as with the via one - not better,
not worst (regarding frame drop, cpu usage, ...).

I tried using the XvMC extension from MPlayer but I have the same failure
using via or openchrome. From what I read on openchrome's wiki, there's a
patch to apply to MPlayer's sources to be able to use it. So I'm gonna try
that.

More news later.
