I tried the Angstrom distribution, connected to a DVI-capable monitor
through the HDMI port on the beagle. I only tried to play a 720p video,
but the problem was the speed of the SD card so the framerate wasn't good.
Maybe with arch+mplayer+patches it'll do better, because it has a DSP
chip. But I don't plan to test it soon because my goal is to stream
compressed video from a webcam via wi-fi, and I don't have a monitor to
test on :P
I'd highly recommend this piece of hardware, it's cheap, has audio
in/out, a powerful processor, HDMI/S-Video connector and a mini-usb port.
