should noobish (and potentially unrelated to this particular thread) questions regarding atv > linux > crystalhd be posted here, the atv forum or the linux forum?

Uncertain if this is the right forum, so please bear with me...
ATV + Ubuntu + Broadcom + XBMC is really nice, however, there is one thing that bugs me. With my Playstation 3 I can play DVDs and have these upscaled to 1080p with great results. When I run XBMC in 1080p I am not getting anywhere near as good results. Are there any options in XBMC or the NVidia control panel in Ubuntu that need to be tweaked or will I never be able to achieve good scaling on the ATV platform -- I would really like to get rid of my noisy PS3 ;-)

well I managed to get ubuntu installed to my atv, the bcm drivers installed and crystalhd compiled and xbmc actually runs and plays video, but I'm not seeing any hardware assist, I'm missing audio (over hdmi), and I must have screwed up something with the lirc/event server because the remotes not working.
I'll dig through xbmc log, and all the threads/wiki's to figure out what I missed as soon as I get time.
Thanks to all who have contributed and shared there knowledge/experience, I wouldn't have gotten this far without it.

a couple quickie questions
- is it considered 'safe' to svn up, from say 'svn co -r 25101' on the crystalhd branch ? assuming there aren't any issues with latest rev at that point in time. IE Will it break the norco (or other) drivers ?
- now that there are a few different driver releases floating around, is there a 'better' or more preferred one than the norco?
- I wonder why the exact revision wasn't listed in the system info (said something about alpha 2 if I remember)
Asking now so I don't screw everything up if/when I get what I got working...
