I guess different Read the data sheets which I made available to you pending upon which input format is detected by the B848 the calculations in meteorsetgeo need to be calculated accordingly. > numbers can be used depending on the format; this would mean that users > would have to be sure to set the format *before* setting the geometry. The card is fully capable of detecting the input format: Register number 4 (BKTR_IFORM) bits 2 - 0: 000 auto format 001 NTSC M 010 NTSC w/o pedestal (Japan) 011 PAL (B, D, G, H, I) input format 100 PAL (M) input format 101 PAL (N) input format 110 SECAM input format 111 Reserved > Alternatively the driver could re-set the geometry when the format > was changed. > > By the way, what is the magic number 1.21875 in METEORSETGEO.

Glad that you are volunteering Good Luck, Amancio
