Just manually updated my Duo with VIX image installed no problems

boots faster now just not tested the other thing yet

Where do I install this file too?

[punisher]

lib/modules/2.6.18-**/extra

backup the files in there first and then overwrite them with the ones that you download.. should be 4 files in there

I've actually timed before and after

Before 1 min 24 secs
After 1 min 26 secs

So roughly the same

This is timed from pressing power button in standby to actual picture shows on screen

It is the Shut down that it greatly lessens the time, approx quarter of original time removed

[bassethound]

that's how i tested the speed using the red button to restart the box ;)

Almost same booting time, also shut down time. But greatly enhanced SD picture quality in my opinion compared to the recent drivers in VIX 2.1.4. Also HD seems to be a tick better. Of coure this is my personal impression only. But you could read quite often that the last drivers (release March 21st, I believe) have worsen SD quality. Now it seems to be recovered.

What does image update mean in this phrase - Reduce booting time(Needs a image update)

Are we better off wating for the online update if using the VIX image Thanks

[belierzz]

Maybe we can look forward to VIX 2.2 as we have a new Original Image 5.8 (http://vuplus.com/)?

I believe this is meant with "needs an image update".

Edit: and already new drivers (26-04-2011) here (http://archive.vuplus.com/download/drivers/)

needs an image update means it needs to be incorporated but the drrivers will be available via online update
