I am using the 1.4.0-2 patch against vdr-1.4.1 and softdevice-0.3.1 with a Matrox G550 at 1280x720p, albeit with DVI out. Works just fine with German OSD and German/Russian EPG. The machine is an Athlon XP-M 2400+ @ 1800MHz, and it uses 25-30 % CPU depending on what it does, with or without Freetype. And IMHO the Arial font looks better on the OSD than the original VDR font, but that's a matter of taste I guess. You can always replace it by another TTF if you like. -- "Saw a sign on a restaurant that said Breakfast, any time -- so I ordered French Toast in the Renaissance. -- Steven Wright
