Well, close to. I suppose you know about the problem with getting the integrated graphics on epia mobos to output 800x480 to 7" widescreen displays?
I found a workaround. If I make my mobo output 800x600, I can then (with some bios settings) make the screen think its 800x400 in a way that it cuts the top eight and botton 112 pixels so that it displays 800x480. That gives a clear image with mapped pixels, and it works very well as long as I'm possible to force the frontend to just use those 800x480 pixels.

Very nice front end
Hi, I am newbie and was looking for a frontend for my car. I am using UMPC Samsung Q1 with pentium processor. I bought it so it can be mounted in my Fj. I am hoping you will finalize this frontend with Iguidance 3.0 as soon as possible.
Thanks again for the effort.
Will this work with Xp tablet?
thanks.

Gps integration request
Hi
Are you planning to put a button for gps integration, especially Iguidance 3.0? Please please put that in there and may be some option to change the color of the text like the Ultimate RR skin has on it.
That would make it perfect for me... 
Thanks alot for the effort this is the fastes front end i have seen ....
thanks again.

Well, I just ran into something... I tried installing mediate on my carputer, but when I run it it says:
"Critical DirectX error encountered.
Failed to find suitable alpha blended texture format."
I do have DX9 installed...

We've only seen that happen in two circumstances - either DX9 and or Gfx drivers aren't installed, or if the Gfx card doesn't have support for 32bit textures.
One of our test machines has pretty old Intel embedded gfx (circa 6yrs old) and that doesn't have support for 32 bit textures, only 16 bit. There is an option in the mediate advanced settings to use 16 bit textures - try turning that on and also enabling fullscreen exclusive mode.
We added 16 bit mode for compatibilty with older h/w - the gfx won't look quite so nice (you may see some colour banding) since there are far fewer colours available, but you should see something.
If that doesn't help, and you do have DirectX 9 installed isn't installed then there's an included utility dxdiag.exe (Start menu / Run / dxdiag). Run that and go through the Direct 3D tests on the Display tab to verify you have a suitable gfx driver installed (one which supports DirectX 9 acceleration).

My bad. Forgot to install Vias 4in1 drivers when i formated. (they contain agp drivers, and therefore I had not proper DX3D support)

Video issues
Well I just came across a blocker. I 'was' going to use mediate in my car till my own front-end is up and running, but if it can't play my videos.... well....
Anywayz, when i go to play a video it comes up with a big red error saying that it can't play the video cause it's in an unsupported video/audio codec. Thing is the video plays fine in Windows Mediaplayer. The video is a DivX video so i would think that it should be able to play it.

it'd be nice to have the volume control connected to the master volume for the computer, or if you could just have it remember the previous volume level from last execution could work well too.

Hi,
At present video playback is a little hardware dependent due to the way we're using the Video Mixing Renderer (VMR9) to blend video with the rest of the user interface. We're planning on implementing our own custom video renderer that should sort these issues, but in the meantime you could try setting the video renderer (see playback options in the advanced configuration settings) to VMR7 instead.
VMR7 works on a far wider range of h/w but is more limited - you won't get the video mixed with the user interface, or see the small preview window, or get toolbar buttons overlaid in the fullscreen view.
Also, for those of you that have asked, Navigation support is getting there but we're having a few fun technical issues to get round with embedding external applications.
So far we have PC Navigator running within mediate, scaled to fit nicely with a dark fade effect so it matches the feel of the rest of the ui. The sticking point is PC Navigator crashing each time we send it a mouse event in the routing screen :-(
We'll get there though. Thanks for waiting everyone...

I just barely stumbled across this and have been playing with it for a little while now. I really like it so far, but I wish that when listening to music it would use the ID3 tag information to display song title (and artist/album information if possible). Some of us have different naming conventions for our audio files but the tagging is generally the same throughout.
