All of the reviews, even those that tested with Windows, were unable to get 1080p to play without dropping frames. Are you sure this is the same Shuttle X27D? You’re very lucky, then.

After updating my debian testing macbook, I stopped having full hd resolution on my external display. Due to your post I was able to fix it. I'm working on a spanish translation to post it soon in m blog (jm2dev.com). Thanks.

I owe you a beer. Okay, I admit it, it was the virtual thing that I needed to make my new HDTV work. I owe you a beer.

Even 720p can be choppy depending on the video. This GPU is very underpowered, and offloads a lot of work to the CPU. That would be fine with a Core 2 Duo, but with an Atom the CPU is also too underpowered. I really only use this PC for 480p video, but upscaled to 1080p.

I purchased a X27D for a media pc. Running Mythbuntu JJ from live cd won't display smooth HD on a VGA CRT. A bit of spelunking reveals "Intel XvMC decoder disabled" in Xorg.0.conf. A bit of surfing led me to http://www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver & to http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/ where I downloaded xf86-video-intel-2.7.1.tar.bz2 dated 12-May-2009; don't know if this will fix XvMC or not. I was hoping to run the X27D from cd...oh well. Now I'll have to see if I can get it to boot from usb hard drive; if not, will have to find a 2.5 old laptop pata to either pata or sata converter to use existing laptop hard drives I have. If I have to buy a new hard drive, I'll be up to the price of a Dell Studio Hybrid. This is yet another case of "so close, yet so far". I appreciate the info here. I purchased a X27D for a media pc.
