== Overview ==
* Linux on CM-iGT is Linux Mint 13 LTS with full-featured MATE desktop environment
* All necessary drivers and tools are already installed
* Networking, sound, video acceleration, 2D and 3D graphics and other features work out of the box
*: {{Note|Such features as TPM, GPIO and CAN are unsupported in the this release}}

== ATI Catalyst video driver ==
The proprietary ATI Catalyst video driver for Radeon HD 6250 GPU provides the following features:
* GPU accelerated video decoding XvBA (X-video Bitstream Acceleration)
* Dual-head support
* Up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz resolution
* 1080p playback with media players that support XvBA (XBMC and VLC)
The ATI Catalyst driver and other required utilities were installed using the following command:
<pre>
$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates xvba-va-driver vainfo
</pre>

== XBMC and VLC ==
* XBMC and VLC are well known open-source media players
* Both of them use GPU accelerated video decoding and give exellent playback quality on CM-iGT
* Both of them compatible with the most popular video formats
*: {{Note|XVBA support has not yet been merged into the main XBMC code branch and was installed from Wolfgang Schupp repository}}
<pre>
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-frodo
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install xbmc
</pre>
