Thanks for the info. I'll probably give it a try w/V1 and see how it
goes.

What V2 errors do you see? Is anyone attempting to fix the V2 epia
errors?

I'm using the EPIA M10000:
      vt8623 northbridge (CLE266) and vt8235 southbridge.
I haven't been able to get V2 to compile as yet for it.
V1 compiles and runs properly but AGP doesn't work.  
I can't seem to find the right way to setup the GART and GATT. Without
the datasheets, what can I do? Without AGP support, Xwindows will run
but playing videos or doing 3D will crash the system. Also, I'm not sure
how to setup the video encoder. I wouldn't recommend the EPIA M10000
simply because VIA has been anything but free and open with the specs.
However, that's what I'm 
using until something better comes along.  Good luck.

David
