Hi there, I've done a lot of searching on this issue and found a lot of threads but because nettops are so new I am finding information very specific to hardware I go not have. I have an Acer Revo (dual-core, 2Gb) and I had hoped to use Ubuntu 9.10 on it but I am experiencing enough jitter in normal xvids to be distracting. I am using a 40" Sony Bravia TV through HDMI. Basically there is a line somewhere on the screen and you can tell the top and the bottom of the line are a frame off at times. So far I have done the following:
1) Ubuntu 9.10 fresh install / update
2) Activate NVIDIA proprietary driver through Hardware Drivers panel
3) Ran nvidia-config-settings
4) Configured compiz (works awesome on revo, btw)
5) Configured system sound through HDMI out
6) Installed sshfs, mounted network directories with video (video jitters with samba as well but I prefer sshfs)
7) Installed xbmc through synaptic pkg mgr
8) Activated VDPAU rendering with video synchronization
Since I'm sure many people will be coming here with revos would anyone be so kind as to offer comments on what they have done to eliminate the jitter that might apply to a Revo? While I have other problems in my Windows Vista partition, the video does not jitter there. Thanks.
