Compatible graphic card with AGP x8???
« on: December 01, 2007, 10:54:18 pm »
Hey guys,

I've been trying for more that 3 weeks now to make my installation work properly but I'm kicking my head on the wall. I have a Radeon 9550 but the transparency does not work with this model, I cannot see any video... Problems only problems.

Could someone give me an AGP x8 graphic card reference that fully works with LinuxMCE? I'm really desperate to get it working at the moment!

A list of compatible hardware would be more than welcomed in the Wiki. That would have saved me a graphic card already...

Thanks for any entries,

LFD

Greg

I've had success with the XFX GeForce 6200 256MB AGP 8x Video Card ( DVI VGA TV-Out ) - PVT44AWANG, using UI2, but I don't use the alpha-blending (transparency).  Turning transparency on causes some tearing in video playback, and I don't really feel it adds much anyway.  But UI2 is MUCH better than UI.

And what a shame nobody can be bothered to add it to the wiki...

Couldnt agree more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A site / project like this needs two things, knowegable staff (tick) and a good wiki, for a project as this a big part of the wiki is compatability.... and no one is filling it in.

I hope people bump into this thread and see this...

IF YOU USED LinuxMCE IN ANYWAY HELP THE WIKI !!!!!!!!

I haven't added graphix cards as I had the understanding from the get go that any Nvidia card from the 4xxxx and upwards should work.
I have added all the computers I have tried succesfully, and these cards are mentioned with those computers.
But I have added the mentioned card now  ;D
