I'm sorry if that should already be clear:
Do you mean that hardware accelerated decoding of MPEG1/2, MPEG4 ASP/AVC and/or
WMV3/VC1 is possible for any samples with GMA 4500 on a Linux system with your
patched MPlayer (and an opensource graphic driver)?

So, it is correct that this driver is _not_ available except for Dell Mini 12
and its original old custom Ubuntu?

Isn't there an external screen resolution limitation for Poulsbo?

Thank you for explaining, Carl Eugen
