Hello again all After some fiddling with the new 4.2.99 X server, I got the xv info stuff working on the SMI. But, one more question - the SMI says it can "putImage" as well as "putVideo" - does this thing have a built in frame grabber!? I couldn't find any spec mentioning this. I imagine it needs a 7114 or something similar to accompany it.
