Hi, I guess I'm abit of a n00b here. I was attracted to XBMC by the Aeon skin someone duplicated for the WDTV hacked FW that I've been playing around with since the device first came out in Nov. of 07. Lots of fun stuff there, but I decided it was time for something with a little more capabilities, so I started building a HTPC about a month ago. XBMC just seemed like the logical choice for a GUI that could tie it all together.
Anyway, I've got this Zotac Ion GPU (GT218) that plays everything great using MPCHC, TheKmplayer, PowerDVD 10, which all seem to utilize the hardware acceleration just fine. But I've been getting disappointing results with XBMC. It's as if it doesn't recognize this card as a VPDAU capable device. I've yet to see it once using HW acceleration. I can't even find a setting for it! Am I just missing something, here? Or did I just pick a card that it doesn't know how to play with?
Throw me a bone, here. I'm not averse to going in and getting dirty, just bear in mind that the WDTV hacks are my only experience with "penguinware".
