The 404 uses the BT898 chip instead of the BT848. Make sure you have a decent video card. I started with a recent Trident (no name), and could never get anything to work. Now I have an older ATI, and so far things appear to be working for the most part. -- brandon@2i.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
