I've tried updated versions of Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, and the BSD family. Nothing has been successful at getting me high res with video acceleration. Even if I do get it for an out of box install, I update the OS, and video breaks again. All my web searching yields continued problems.

I attempted Solaris, but that had its own funky install issues making it nearly useless.

Windows XP natively did a decent job, but the screen would sometimes flinch. Windows 7 does an outstanding job, but we are looking at a proprietary driver and a Microsoft OS.

Anyone else have better success with a non Microsoft OS?

Hi,

I have Kiwi 9.04 installed on fitpc2. Due to that, Kiwi is a derivated Ubuntu, it works well.
Playing the same video gives better quality without "noisy" picture (flinch as you wrote).

Cheers

Google Fedora 11 + Adam Williamson + Pocketables.net, the Fedora RPM is v easy to install (incl's the poulsbo drivers + mplayer-vaapi) and updates dont seem to break it
