Joachim Wunder: |>Are you running XFree 3.3.1? | |Ummm....I am not quite sure... should a xdpyinfo show? "startx -- -probeonly" will, but xdpyinfo does too (see below) |> 1) fxtv -colorbars -- what do you see? | |I see vertical colorbars, so I think this is a good sign. Yep. I'm not sure, I believe that's the tuner talking :-) So the tuner-to-screen path seems OK. This seems to point to tuner configuration or signal-related problems. |> 2) Repeat in other color depths supported by your X server. | |I am currently using 16 bpp and I see the colorbars. So I think this is ok so |far!? Yep, no reason to try others. xdpyinfo output: ... |vendor string: The XFree86 Project, Inc |vendor release number: 3200 Looks like XFree86 3.2. You're getting a picture on the screen with -colorbars, so probably no reason to upgrade. We're in the bt848 driver's tuner code, the tuner, or the video cable at this point. |Thank you very much for your help again! No problem. Knowing what we know now (tuner-to-display is OK), I'm afraid I need to hand-off to someone that has more driver and/or PAL experience to help get the bottom of this tuner config/reception problem. PAL and the driver aren't my strong points. Any takers? Randall
