To get HDTV output from this system or any other fanless system, you
will need to have full XvMC support. There's no way around it.

It appears that this graphics chip is not supported yet. The
OpenChrome project is the place where the development is happening.

The "HDTV processing chip" is only used to drive the analog component
video outputs. If you use the DVI output, you don't need it. That's
good because Linux/X doesn't support it yet either.
Check out the VIA SP8000E. It's fanless and has the CN400 graphics
chip, so it works with XvMC and can display the full 1920x1080 of
HDTV. Whether the 800MHz cpu can keep up is another story... It
would require you to have a VGA input on your HDTV/monitor.

The SP13000G is similar, but has a 1.3GHz cpu and a fan.
