Are you running 3 displays off 2 video cards or 1? I'm assuming 1.

What are the results from


aplay -D hw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

Sounds like a virtual desktop issue to me. And yes xrandr -q is needed.


The virtual desktop is the total area your card can handle. When you attach another display to a card the new display area...

I don't understand you upped the kernel memory but did you create a new xorg.conf with --enable-all-gpus? This is important. If so both displays should be active.

You haven't listed what video card/driver you're using. Use whatever video driver utility to set your desired primary display to the specific monitor.

Sweet thanks man I'll definitely try these out soon. If it has some sort of report I'll post it here.

I've noticed Clevo is now producing C and E series AMD fusion laptops. Mind you not as many varieties as their intel products but it's a start. Interestingly they are producing 15.6 inch models with...

This is the "holy grail" it seems of most sound setups. To answer your question it should be possible. However you will have to get down and dirty with your alsa configuration files and probably...

How did the install go? Any hiccups so far?

I'll be doing an install myself on a couple of Asus AMD C50 fusion netbooks next week.

I have used non 1080p media as well and haven't noticed any issues with interlacing/scaling. My media library is a complete hodgepodge of formats. My primary goal has been to test real 1080p media...

You are correct it's a technical glitch.

Two nvidia cards not working in the latest Ubuntu is due to the allocated memory upon boot to the 32b kernel for the 2nd the video driver. It doesn't...

Tried out a 44gb 1080p m2ts "stress test" file last night in xbmc @ 1080p there were about 100 frame skips after around 1hr of play.

I'd try the VA-API route before spending any money. If it involves compiling it's not nearly as scary as it might sound. Many people over at the XBMC forum use a debian/ubuntu base so there should be...

Is hardware acceleration enabled in xbmc?

Well for anybody who is interested. I received the netbooks yesterday after some shipping mishaps to my new address.

First impressions:
-10/100 nic but that's expected
-nice chiclet keyboard...

This might seem like a no brainer but are you positive it's a 1080p display and not 1080i?

To me it sounds like you're using a 1080i resolution on a 720p display.

In a terminal type


gksudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa

If you want the fastest/lightest look into a minimal openbox install with tint2 and gtk components. Like the old crunchbang who has now switched to a debian base.

Warning it will require a bit of...

They should be arriving today. I'll do some win7 tests (since win7 is included) and then linux. I'm not sure if the memory will arrive today as well. I'd really like to test it with the 4gb...

Your best bet is to visit some Mythbuntu forums to get solid support with your issues.

For recording live TV you will need a PVR or TVcard preferably one that handles transcoding itself. For...

aplay -D plughw:2,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

doesn't work? If it does just change your pulseaudio alsa sink to plughw:2,7 or plughw:NVidia,7

That is a tall order however you can probably sort it out with the following references.

Well if anybody is interested I decided upon the AMD netbooks. The final point was the fact they use ddr3 1333mhz ram and can be upgraded to 4gb. I bought a couple of 2x2GB samsung kits as well. I...

Hmmm if nobody has an opinion (I trust the a/v tech heads in this forum) on the graphics lets explore other areas.

AMD radeon has no dedicated memory, ion2 has 512mb. I could upgrade the system...

Hello, I need to buy a couple of new netbooks to use as portable htpc this week and I'm torn between the two graphics options.

I already own an intel atom nettop with ion2 so I'm aware of how that...
