See anything resembling video? > nada. I don't have enough vram for 24 bit, but trying 16 at all different resolutions doesn't work. And moving the window doesn't have any effect. I was using 15 bit depth because that's what dtv requires. Here's a clue: I retried running 'dga' (the test program) for the first time since upgrading to 3.3.2. It has always only worked for me at 8 bit -- not 15 or 16 -- but now it successfully causes a reboot.
