I was playing around with the driver and forgot the http server doesn't load by default. I'll put it on my other machine instead. Try http://resnet.uoregon.edu/dwhite/redscreen.gif This was using fxtv 0.4. > BTW, the XImage stuff is fine.

The Mach64 is an exception. 24bit == 32bit on it, and the buffer is GBR. How much more off-base can we get? :) > Please let me know what you're seeing for freeze frame and continuous and > I'll work on ironing things out. I'll try to describe the direct video that I get. It's hard since I can't capture it using xv or freezeframe (freezeframe crashes fxtv 0.3.2 in this mode!). It appears that the video has been black/white inverted. Faces are black with highlights that are speckled color. The screen is very dim. Turning the brightness all the way up gives me a black screen. I changed the memory in the machine last week, from 32 (4x8mb) to 40 megs (2x16mb and 2x4mb edo). I don't think that would have anything to do with it, but a data point anyway. I've only got 2mb of vram so I don't run in 24 bit mode, the desktop is too small. Next month, when I have cash, I will probably upgrade the card to 4mb.
