Currently, this box is running debian sid and is connected to the panasonic LCD via it's VGA in. I'm mainly using it as an Freevo MP3 jukebox via the onboard sound->stereo.
The PVR-500 and the MCE stuff is on order. I understand from reading here that both VIA and ATI are problematic and I might be looking at a video card/mobo replacement. Figure it's worth a shot
Will I continue to use the VGA In on the Panasonic or will I need to use S-Video?
Should I keep my currently working XFree config handy?
