Hi

Was looking at improving my onboard GPU (to play 720p media smoothly) on my B202 Media director and stumbled upon this

Does anybody have any experience with it?

Would it be possible to run it on a MD?

Hmm... not tried it. But since it merely overclocks the GPU I would guess that it will be possible to run it. Try it and let us know!

it lists "IntelĀ® 2008Q4 graphics package" as a Prerequisite

How does that equate to the intel drivers currently used under linuxMCE 1004?

Well I tried this out and it runs fine, activated with a single command so it would be easy to add to a startup script.

However it doesn't make enough of an improvement to play 720p video smoothly.


Looks like I'm buying a Broadcom Crystal HD

You will need to add support for the Broadcom CrystalHD in order for it  to work properly.
