Really? I have a Millenium 4M card, and I have not been able to get it to work well. First problem--I absolutely can not get *any* 4.x version of netscape to run on it. They all complain about the locale/nls stuff, and give me a bus error. If I could get this to work, I could overlook the fact that the VidMode extension does not apear to work right with fxtv. Honestly, the only thing I really care about in 4.0 right now is the gamma correction, which appears to work. Actually, most everything else appears to work, but I can not live without netscape. :( Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
