[wellylug] Mini-ITX Motherboard

[Jethro Carr]

hi all,

I want to build a mini-itx system.


I've looked at EPIA motherboards, such as the VIA EPIA-M10000
(http://www.ascent.co.nz/mn-product-spec.asp?pid=337147) but I have a
few questions:

- is the video card supported under linux? I've read conficiting
information about this on the web.

- does the hardware dvd decrytion mean that I don't need libdvdcss? Does
it work on Linux?

If anyone can direct me to some answers, or mention other mini-itx
boards which can play DVD's without using the libdvdcss libary, it would
be really helpfull.



Also, as a side note:

someone at the lug mentioned to me that dvd descryption without using
libdvdcss, is possible with hardware decrytion What sort of devices do
you need for this, and where can you get them?


thanks,
