I suspect that the Millenium has a silly register which we can set so we can achieved the pixel order that I want. >From The Desk Of Michael Smith : > Amancio Hasty stands accused of saying: > > Okay, I am interested in using my Bt848 for live video on my screen. > > Fund me and I will happily produce a matrix translation ASIC that does > the transform for you 8) > > > With fxtv I can dump raw video to the display frame buffer for > > a very relaxing couch "lizard" effect. > > Ah, nice toy 8) Yes, Indeed.

I don't do pallete stuff . The bt848 offers multiple video formats . If you want to know more about the Great land of Bt848 : http://freebsd.org/~fsmp/HomeAuto/Bt848.html http://www.brooktree.com/pdf/graphics/DATASHTS/l848_b.pdf And last but not least you can check out the Bt848 driver and fxtv.
