I don't want to repeat my problem describtion, in fact, you can look at http://www.tisys.org/misc/fxtv_small.png and http://www.tisys.org/misc/fxtv_big.png to see for yourself. This message is supposed to tell you some things I have found out in the meantime. Probably someone can explain what they mean, for I don't think they are entirely normal: 1) I have now found out that when I start my X server with 16bpp instead of 24bpp, I can switch fxtv to full screen more or less successful. The only problem that sometimes remains is that the picture may look "interlaced", that is, only every even scan line seems to be drawn, while every odd scan line remains black. In other words: There are many small black horizontal lines in the full screen picture. This is not always the case, but evey now and then (seems that I can fix it by moving or minimizing and maximizing the fxtv window). Now, is fxtv / bktr actually limited to 16bpp, or is this just something I am seeing? 2) When I select the PAL/BDGHI mode, the picture seems a little "jerky", meaning that it hangs and then moves again. If I select PAL/N instead, the picture moves smoothly. I wonder what the TV norm actually has to do with this behavior, however. Since I live in Germany, I know that I will have to use some kind of PAL, but I'm unsure about the differences of PAL/BDGHI and PAL/N. Any comments and hints are, as always, welcome ;-) Greetings Nils -- Nils Holland Ti Systems - FreeBSD in Tiddische, Germany http://www.tisys.org * nils@tisys.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
