You see my P100 can process video to my display adapter such as fast as my PPRO 200. As for FreeBSD it is more appropriate to document the systems based on something like world stones, cool comm gear , etc.. We really ought to beat on the hackers or maybe the current mailing list for such a document. I am saying -current because those hackers probably tend to do more make worlds . If people don't volunteer for such a simple task which many in the -current list do anyhow, then we will simply not have such a document. my system or relevant parts: OS: FreeBSD 3.0 current CPU : PPRO 200mhz 256k 48MB of memory (60ns dram). Motherboard : ASUS P/I- XP6NP5 ATX form factor PCI chipset: : Intel 82440FX (Natoma) graphic adapater: Diamond S3 968 4MB VRAM video capture : Wincast/tv dbx stereo sound : gus pnp pro monitor : Nano F550i 17 inch fxtv works great in PCI to PCI mode 15, 16, 32 bit color depth. I added fxtv to my fvwm95 "utilities" pop menu so it is pretty easy to pop a tv window . Tnks, Amancio >From The Desk Of "Jonathan M.
