Muhammad, That looks like you don't have an nVidia graphics card, or it is an nVidia card running with the "nv" driver rather than the "nvidia" driver. Like most other distros, lenny ships with the nv driver as the default for nVidia cards. However the advanced features in the nvidia driver are needed. I haven't looked recently but I don't think there is a package for lenny yet which supplies the binary nvidia driver module. This means you'll have to download the driver from the Nvidia web site (http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html) and install it manually yourself. FYI, Ubuntu has the nvidia-glx package available which supplies the binary nvidia driver. > And for the SimpleHDvidoeservice , it didn't work for me the > service that worked here DVideoservice This is probably because the SimpleHDVideoService defaults to HDV when your camera is set to DV format. In this case, you need to set the service to DV format in the service's configuration panel (then disable and re-enable the service). Don't forget to store the configuration too. > my camera model is : > > Sony DCR-TRV285E > > p.s : will the new kernel stack that supports firewire be better > the current one ? I believe other distros trying the new stack have had some problems so far. chris Christoph Willing +617 3365 8350 QCIF Access Grid Manager University of Queensland
