Post subject:  R5A30.1, Dell GX520, Intel P4 3.2Ghz, PVR-350, 160GB SATA
Dell GX620, midtower version
CFX: onboard Intel i915, Chipset 945G?
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20GHz
Disk: 160GB SATA
Memory: 2.0GB memory
Capture: Hauppauge PVR-350, PAL version
Keyboard: Dell USB keyboard
KnoppMyth version: R5A30.1

Yes, it's bleeding edge hardware, but we had a spare one.

Only possible to have a USB keyboard, so had to remove/insert it to get it working in the installation menu.

Did a manual installation of R5A30.1 and partioned following the Pamplet.

During installation it was connected to a 19" Dell monitor.
The graficcard went into VESA mode, so the playback was jerky, looked like 12FPS.

did an upgrade to Xorg. (Don't know if this really was needed)
#apt-cache search xserver-xfree86

changed /etc/X11/xorg.config fill to use i910 that supports i915
Driver "vesa"
changed to
Driver "i810"


Now running with the frontend connected to a projector and 10 vlc clients streaming recordings at halfsize. CPU is 58% idle, VLC 30%, Frontend about 12%. Very quiet system.

Very bleeding edge hardware: lspci gives:
