An update to my situation: I upgraded my video card to an ATI 3D Pro Turbo (3D Rage/Mach 64 based), and the "mess up the screen" problem has disappeared under both FreeBSD and Windows. It looks like my old Cirrus card was, in fact, at fault. I'm still having the occasional "NTSC detected as PAL" problem, though. -- Donald Burr Web: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
