I've got the xftv 0.44 package installed, the bktr0 and tuner0 devices created and I get video.... but... The colors are way off and I don't get video within the Xwindow at all at 24bpp. At first I thought I was using the entire color palette with XV or Netscape but once I killed them off I still had the same problem. When I drop back to 8bpp (or the default, I don't remember) I get video contained within the Xwindow but the same color scheme. I'm more of a system user (at least for video) than a hacker some hand holding my be needed. Any suggestions? I've got a PPro180 with STB Velocity 3D (8MB), XFree86 3.3.1 all this being run by AfterStep. If need be I can include a frame grab of the video output, It's pretty ugly. -- Al ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan R.
