I was thinking on getting this one: Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H with a VDPAU working GeForce 9400 integrated onboard. But the problem remains. I need at least 3 PCI slots.

[vdr] Minimal VDR install
Hi, folks. My current vdr is instaled over "normal" ubuntu desktop since forever. Now I want to try something similar starting with ubuntu server and reducing installed packages to the minimum. I found a similar ideia at this link: http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/vdr/vdr.html Now for the questions: - Anyone with similar approach? - What is the minimum xorg needed? - Recommended settings? The ideia is to have a lightweight system installed on a usb pen (almost all files are read only, so no problem) and add one or more HDD drives to perform the recording. Those drivers will only work when a recording is scheduled. Thus reducing noise to the minimum. Currently I have almost no dB coming from my vdr box, except for the disks. I need to take in account other applications xorg needs. Like xine, mplyer, whatever. I really want to end up with a minimal/no noise fully working system. Thanks. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] Can't compile VDR

Thanks for the help. Installing things from memory can get you into trouble. After writing the mail, read my notes and found the error... A simple cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/linux/compiler.h /usr/local/src/v4l-dvb/linux/include/linux/ or cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/linux/compiler.h /usr/local/src/s2-liplianin/linux/include/linux/ solves it. Sorry for that. Now i'm having another error: etype2 -I/usr/local/src/s2-liplianin/linux/include tools.c tools.c: In member function âssize_t cUnbufferedFile::Write(const void*, size_t)â: tools.c:1611: error: no matching function for call to âmin(long unsigned int, off_t)â make: *** [tools.o] Error 1 It seems to be caused by s2-liplianin drivers. Gonna try v4l-dvb. BTW, which repo is most up-to-date concerning S2-3200 card? v4l-dvb or s2-liplianin?
