Some time ago I obtained an EPIA mini-itx motherboard to fool with. With FC2,3,4 I've been able to get networking, sound, and desktop running without trouble, but getting the hardware support for the MPEG-2 acceleration, or the alledged 3-D hardware support - forget it. Google and various archives may be friendly, but I'm not succeeding. My latest effort, I dropped back to a fresh install of FC4, and updated the kernel w/ yum to 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4, and xorg-x11 to 6.8.99.900-0.FC4.ucr.3 (those two packages happened to show up, I didn't set out to specify them) Attempting to fire up X results in a flicker of the screen, followed by black. <ctrl><alt><F1> allows me to <ctrl>c, and regain the screen. This happens both as a normal user and root> Looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log the only entry that looks like an error is: AUDIT: Fri SEp 30 18:27:56 2005:3196 x: client 7 rejected from local host I will assume that means something to somebody, but its gibberish to me. I can post xorg.conf & what ever is desired, but I'd really like to get this machine working at it's fullest.
