Nice. It ths fan noisy on that one ? I had to remove the fan on my 
M10000 because it was too noisy, and replaced it with a nearby 8cm 
low-voltage fan. Still too loud, though...

The 2.6.6 viafb module is still not updated to DirectFB specs (as of a 
few days ago). I reverted back to 2.4.26, with the -epia2 kernel patch 
from www.epiawiki.org
Read my posts and replies from Michael Hunold and others on this very 
mailing-list (dated 2004-06-10 or so).

I think this one will work with the 2.4.26 viafb.

Do you plan to use the softmpeg vdr plug-in, or something else related 
to lisoftmpeg ?
I for myself still have problems with softmpeg, but the specs sound 
promising (even CLE266 hardware MPEG2 decoder code). The problem of this 
code is that the community around it seems to be quite... absent...

Please keep us informed of your work.
