Thanks for the info...
I managed to get XV working with the right options to the fglrx driver, and the
1.5Ghz Pentium M seems capable of all the 720p and 1080i I can throw at it.
The only problem is all the 1080i has this pink bar on the right side of the
screen. I believe the video overlay cannot properly scale 1080i (1920x1080) to
1280x800. Surely, the 1.5Ghz Pentium M is not fast enough to do software
pre-scaling when that becomes an option in mythfrontend.
Know of any way to get this thing to scale without the pink bar?
Thanks!
