Mamakos: |Pardon me for the stupid question, but with fxtv, does the image capture |button work? When I try it, it says: | | TVSCREENNewFrameHdlr() - Unsupported TrueColor conv | |My video display is of the 24 bits per pixel / 4 bytes per pixel pursuation. |It looks like things might work a bit differently in the 16 bits per pixel |case. Hi Louis. Sorry it took so long to reply, but I've been away on business last couple days. There isn't any image capture implemented in fxtv yet. But if you mean the snapshot button (camera icon) that freezes the video, it should work OK -- given that the X server returns the correct pixel geometry in the TrueColor visual info. That is, if the frame buffer is 24 bits per pixel with 4 bytes per pixel, the pixel depth is "32 planes" with R,G,B masks that just use 3 of the 4 bytes. E.g. from my card: visual: depth: 32 planes red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff The video and freeze frame both work OK. I'm guessing your X server visual info doesn't reflect the actual pixel geometry. Are you running with an XF86Config Depth line of 24 or 32? If 24 and if you know that the frame buffer mapping is really 4 bytes per pixel, this is probably the case. Do an xdpyinfo and look at the TrueColor visual to verify. Also, I'd be interested in a copy of the output. I'd like to help get you up-and-running if I can. Randall
