I'm sure I'm > not the only FreeBSD user who's going to have these questions! ;-) Well, here is the scoop on VAT: o vat does not work with the sound driver in sys-current. o my patches to make vat work are for FreeBSD-2.0. I may upgrade the patches soon so that people running FreeBSD-current can easily drop in the patches and have vat up and running. o James Lowe promised to re-vamp the vat driver so I hope that he does this with sys-current. o Me, I have been waiting for the sound driver V30 to fully merge in the old sound driver changes to make vat work. When I am done with V30, I will submit my patches to Hannu so that we don't go thru this mess again. About a month ago I submitted the bi-directional dma stuff for the GUS to Hannu however he was too busy wrapping the sound driver V30 release. Last but not least I just got the sound driver V30 from Hannu a few days ago. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- About the video stuff, the hardware is just reaching the market however I feel that before the year's end we will have a cool video offering. So far my favorite video card is Jazz Jakarta it can do ntsc output, input , and mpeg playback. The card comes in VLB or PCI and supports 24bit colors :) When Jazz Multimedia makes their SDK available in another month or so I will be happy to let the group know ... Hope this helps, Amancio
