Hi David,

Just wondering what the progress is on your instructions for this box you
have shown on mythhd.info.  I've been looking for a frontend HD box for
quite sometime and been messing with ModeLines for my HDTV for months now.
Macmini looked great but then seems not to have enough horsepower.  This
board you got looks pretty sweet and I was wondering if you have any prelim
stuff on it.  Anyhow...Let me know and I appreciate anything in advanced.

Or on another know, you know of any MicroAtx boards that might work with a
P4 3.0 gig Northwood?

Thanks,

-Phil

Yep, thanks for the link.  Actually downloaded the Via opensource 
drivers last week sometime and tried them out.  They won't compile 
against any recent kernel.  So they won't work as-is.

One of the things I have been working on is the Via VT1625 HDTV Encoder 
interface.  I have the datasheets for the 1625 and the 1623 (which is an 
SDTV Encoder) and created my own tables for the 1625 registers, but 
after comparing with Via tables (in the opensource package) I was off on 
a few things.  Hopefully I will be able to finish this up tonight, 
because I have been without a frontend for about a week now (video card 
fan died and cooked it).
