Which version of the nvidia-driver are you using? 8776 or 7184? The 87XX versions dropped XV support, AFAIR.. I don't know if this is still the case. You'll need to use the 71XX version, built by specifying WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT while building. I had to do this for my bt848 tuner card. I sincerely hope the NVIDIA folks are reading this and will keep XVideo in their newer drivers. Many people have asked for this on their forums. If they don't, I'll probably stop buying nVidia cards. > I just got a blue overlay. This happened to me a lot whenever I was using mplayer for tv display. I had better luck with multimedia/fxtv. You might give that a whirl. Also, I don't think you mentioned this, but which version of FreeBSD? Are you running it on amd64 or i386 hardware? I couldn't get my card to display correctly an my amd64 hardware (with i386 BSD) and it locked my kernel up pretty badly after about 10-30 seconds. That could have been SMP though. I'm assuming you loaded the bktr device before running the TV software... -- Rick C. Petty
