In the meantime, I tested the Crystal 3D and the Stealth 2000. Might be of interest to some of you. Both work with the Hauppauge card using XFree3.3. Testbed was an old ASUS SP3G motherboard and a PCchips M537 (don't beat me for the latter ;-). While the ASUS works fine in full 768x576 the M537 locks up quite fast even in single field 384x288 mode with little other pci traffic.

By now, I always configured PCI video cards with no IRQ. >Randall Hopper <rhh@ct.picker.com> writes: >> As >> Amancio's mentioned, this sounds like a MB chipset issue.

The one I tested was probably the worsest I could get :-(. But if I understand right from all the information I have now, any 440FX based Dual PPro MB should do me, concerning my original question. -- Regards, -Volker Freiburg-
