shanenin Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 I just helped a friend make a video jukebox(freevo) running linux for his tv. We used direct framebuffer , with no X. It is playing movies perfectly(75% cpu load). Here is the cool part, it has only a 500mhz celeron and just 64mb of ram. It is not even using swap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
