Cambria, Mike: |I have just installed an Hauppague Wincast/TV - fm Model 401 on my 2.2.6 |system. I am using fxtv 0.46 from ports but had to get the driver from |http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/22x |<http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/22x>; and patch it as |described there to work with a pre 3.0 system. | |Things "work" but the picture quality is very poor vs. when run under NT (at |any resolution). Is this a result of the state of development or are there |a few things I can look into? | |My system is 2.2.6 installed from CDROM. I run XF86 3.3.2 on a Matrox |Millennium II PCI with 8MB WRAM. My monitor is a Viewsonic 17. The |XF86Config was created using the entries I found in the "monitors" and |"Devices" files found in X11R6 subdirectories. | |Any ideas on to what to check or what to look at next? Could you send the output of "fxtv -debug startup"? That would help the driver folks get a good handle on what chips are on your board. It could also be that your channel standard isn't set correctly. nabcst is typical antenna in US, and seems like I remember hearing that there are two cable standards depending on where you live: cableirc, cablehrc. My memory is fuzzy about that. Try pulling the latest Fxtv: http://www.pagesz.net/~aa8vb/fxtv/ It allows you to "fine-tune" channels using the F9/F10 keys by default (though you can move this to any keys you prefer).
