Trying to use alphaOS as a htpc-os.
Using alphaOS unmodified gives me 1920x1080 resolution, ethernet works -> cool.
Increased size of tint2 fonts (time/date) to 68 in order to make it readable from 10 feet -> cool.
Only firefox needed to stream video -> OK.
Now the problems:
TV goes blank (but video keeps on running) after a few minutes. Have to move the trackball to make it visible again.
Didn't find the file where the setting for the screensaver is...
Also the cursor stays visible all the time.
Cpu fan runs very high during video stream (running Windows the cpu fan was quiet).
Installed nvidia driver 304 legacy but resolution was only 1280x1024.
Didn't have time to observe cpu-fan.
Anyway, found a possible solution for display resolution here:

and will try it next...
Has anyone experience with nVidia ION drivers?
Do they incorporate GFX only or also chipset?
Any help is appreciated (alphaOS should replace Windows as htpc-os).
Thanks
