Since last time I reported about trying to get MythTV running on the new
2010 mac mini I've made some progress.
I managed to install Fedora 13 x86_64 on the internal HDD and went from
there.
My current status:
- Ethernet:
OK, needs kernel >= 2.6.34
- SATA:
OK-ish, needs patch/workaround, I made a custom 2.6.34 kernel to make it
work. With the workaround to get the MCP89 SATA controller going it's
not very quick but doable.
- Nvidia video out through HDMI:
OK works, tested with the latest nvidia binary driver.
- Nvidia audio through HDMI:
ALSA from kernel 2.6.34 recognizes 3 HDMI audio outputs but I could not
get sound from any of them :(. Maybe newer alsa drivers are needed but
the ALSA modules no longer compile on Fedora 13...
So it looks promising but I'm not there yet.
