Has anyone using a zotac had any issues getting the HDMI or DVI working with a TV? VGA works great, but that's it.

then do a search on google, since this is not an xbmc issue.

I know its not an xbmc issue, but they do go hand in hand if I'm using xbmc live. It would be nice if someone with the knowledge would just post how to make the wfi work. I know others would appreciate it too.

I'm trying to dig up info on if I want to setup a HTPC with the zotac;
Some of the basic info: Do i need a keyboard or can i run xbmc w/ubuntu w/out keyboard mouse once its setup?

Sounds like there is some info on getting wake from sleep to work with usb, is there a specific remote/ir/usb adapter i should be looking at?

Good case choices?

Thanks!

This worked for me.

I just pressed Ctrl+Alt+F2 at the xbmc gui menu. This takes you to a terminal session.

I then entered in the username : xbmc and the password xbmc.

I then followed this using my ethernet connection:

NOTE : I had to disable eth0 just before restarting the network service by editing that interfaces file like so :

#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

After I restart the networking service I connect within 4 seconds to my access point. It's great!

Goodluck.

Hi peeps,
i have a question about the zotac board. I have an xubuntu 10.10 running on it and i sense it is a little laggy when I use office-draw or play a 1080p movie. It is a standard installation and uses the nvidia drivers ubuntu.
Another thing I wanted to know is it possible to activate the physx chip or is it already activated?
