I am new to land of running my own unix-like box, please excuse the newbie style questions... I have tried to use Syam Gadde's Hollywood Plus port of the linux driver, but can't quite get things to work, and maybe it's because I don't understand... First, I don't think I know how to change kernel module parameters (ie set activate_loopback=1, see below for referenced documents). I was guessing in rc.conf or rc.loader, but I can't seem to find the right documents to explain how (in FreeBSD) one changes module parameters. Basically, when I kldloaded em8300 with my monitor plugged into the Hollywood+ using the VGA Pass-Through cable and then UPLOAD my microcode, my screen went beserk (bad refresh rate, messed up sync rate, or whatever). So I plugged the monitor back into the normal video card and all is well again. Does this mean it is not possble to use the VGA overlay? Is my only real option to use TV output from the Hollywood plus card? Has anyone had any success besides the author? (I want just want to feel hopeful people get this working easily and I am just overlooking something :) Any general advice? Can resolution settings/refresh rate of X11 cause problems?
