I have a GT218 in my Zotac ION/nettop box and it works great as a Myth frontend! I installed F17 and just added the nvidia driver via yum from rpmfusion and the VDPAU works great. 1080 HD going out HDMI with a system load of about 0.3. My next project for this box is to try to get the BluRay player working on Linux. Now *that* I expect to be a major trial. :-/ -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warlord at MIT.EDU PGP key available
