Steam Pod Living Room Game Console - The Minisforum UM773 Lite

I couldn’t find anything on this little machine, so I though I would post something for others if they were curious or looking to buy one to use as a HTPC. I picked this thing up on a Prime deal for half its original price, and after setting up the Bazzite Deck image on the UM773 Lite, the OS fully supports this little machine without any issue...

this looks awesome

I do wonder if the modern driver that "supports" the dvi-i gpus actually has proper analog video support

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:48 AM

can't really test that at the moment, though

VValerie They "support" 700 series

Pez•8/3/24, 1:48 AM

anything based on maxwell is ok

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:48 AM

or if it's just barebones "functional"

Pez•8/3/24, 1:48 AM

not like you should expect a lot

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:48 AM

and "you can use an analog display"

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:49 AM

vs actually making the most out of what they can do

MMervius Well I don't need to go that old for just a dvi-i port

which is broken rn btw

MMervius vs actually making the most out of what they can do

Pez•8/3/24, 1:49 AM

the most of what they can do is pretty capped by running a modern OS

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:49 AM

hmmmm

Pez•8/3/24, 1:49 AM

maxwell just barely makes it into the modern drivers category

Pez•8/3/24, 1:50 AM

so 750Ti and up

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:50 AM

I already know I'll probably have to remove the pin to recognize the edid

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:50 AM

and just manually set the resolution and refresh rates

Pez•8/3/24, 1:50 AM

nvidia driver supports forcing edid on linux if you already have one ready to go

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:50 AM

hmmm

Pez•8/3/24, 1:50 AM

on x, though...

Pez•8/3/24, 1:51 AM

idk about wayland :v

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:51 AM

one thing I'm not sure of is if interlaced output would be functional on a modern os

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:51 AM

interestingly

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:52 AM

my monitor says it supports up to 1600x1200 at 75 hz

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:52 AM

but looking at the timings, it should technically be able to do almost double that refresh rate from what I can tell

Mervius•8/3/24, 1:52 AM

which the only way that makes sense to me is if the manual is counting interlaced...

I had debated about doing something similar with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/MINISFORUM-UM690S-Desktop-Computer-Renewed/dp/B0DB7YP7J5

$290 USD for a 6900hx with RDNA2 graphics, this would be a great little 1080p steam machine
