I have a nVidia 5700LE and installed the nVidia drivers also but thoes wouldn't work either. I have several 9.3 boxes at work that are great - no issues. It appears that x.org isn't quite ready for either the nVidia 5700LE or 720p. Let me know if you get it working. I think I'll have to re-install 9.2 for the time being until x.org will support my setup. I tried to install 9.3 last night on my to be MythTV front end box and couldn’t get X to work at all in 720p.

The first thing I found was that SuSE identified it as a Winfast 2000 card, loaded cx88 modules, and then completely failed to run X. I'm using a nVidia GX5200 graphics card. When I removed the HD-3000, X worked. So now I'm going to install the recommended drivers for the card, stick it back in it's PCI slot, and hope the conflict doesn't recur. mjh For what it’s worth, I’m in the process of installing SuSE 9.3 with an HD-3000 card.

I have to move some services off <a href="http://www.mecworks.com/">www.mecworks.com</a> which will then be repurposed as my MythTV box. It is supposed to be a great card and they recently just dropped the price from what I hear. Once all my services are off <a href="http://www.mecworks.com/">mecworks.com</a> and onto <a href="http://virtual0.mecworks.com/">virtual0.mecworks.com</a>, I'll be able to make my MythTV backend. I have two HD-3000 Hi Definition Television PCI Cards and two Hitachi 250GB drives that I'll through in the box (it's a dual Celeron 300) which should be enough to be a backend for Myth since the HD streams are mpeg and don't need to be encoded - just written to the disk. I have a small Shuttle box with a 3.0 GHz P4 and an nVidia 5700LE that will be my frontend. Not yet.

I've been thinking a lot about trying one of these out for myself and was wondering how the project was progressing? Hey, did you ever get this set up?
