Yeah, I get:
bktr0: Hauppauge Model 62471 A2A =
bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips FR1236 NTSC FM tuner, dbx stereo.
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=3D0x109e, dev=3D0x0878) at 17.1 irq 16
but it's always said that, and it works fine :)

Agreed, so long as you actually meant the negation of the above statement=

which I suspect you do :)

I run X @ 1600x1200@85Hz in 16 bit on the machine with the Happauge in it=
, but =
it'll go fullscreen from 1280x1024, 1024x768, whatever.

Well, what actually happens is that 'fxtv' uses DGA to switch to a video =
mode =
such that the video window (which is being updated directly from the hard=
ware) =
fills the entire visible area of the screen.
In other words, DGA dynamically switches resolution (and/or color depth, =
in =
DGA 2.x, available in XFree86-4 only)
However, it doesn't magically generate mode lines for you, and thinking a=
bout =
it, that might be what's biting both of you.
For example, for enabling fullscreen with funky-sized AVI/MPEGs and 'mpla=
yer' =
on my laptop I've got the following (fairly common) resolutions defined i=
n my =
XF86Config-4 file:
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "544x352" "536x344" =
"480x288"
"384x288" "320x240" "352x240" "352x280" "352x288"
and the corresponding "mode line" entries elsewhere.
Thus, I get these in my XFree86.0.log file:
(**) ATI(0): Default mode "1024x768": 78.8 MHz, 60.1 kHz, 75.1 Hz

(Note to self, need to fix the bogus modes that get rejected. Ho hum ;-).=
However, you see the point, I'm sure - for "standard" modes, you don't ne=

specify mode lines IIRC, but you'll need to enable them for the "Server" =

in the config file.
My machine with the WinTV in it only has 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1024x768, =
800x700, 640x480 defined in the "Display" sections, thus:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" =
"640x480"
and it has _no mode lines whatsoever_ defined - the server magically crea=

Shouldn't think so, I'm using 1.03 as well, and it works exactly the same=

the older ones, as far as I can tell :)
HTH.
