Well, it's supposedly supported - there is a "vfc" driver. However, I too have one of these cards (matches your description exactly) and I never got it to do anything useful under Linux. I was able to detect that I was sending PAL video to it but I couldn't actually capture anything other than a grey rectangle. I found a program written for SunOS which was supposed to capture an image, and I think that the vfc driver was supposed to be compatible with this (definitely NOT Video4Linux). I tried to contact the author of the driver (he's listed in /usr/src/linux/drivers/sbus/char/vfc*) but I never got a response. It's a pity, because this looks like quite a nice little card, and the price was right :-) If you want, mail me privately and I'll send you a copy of the capture program, maybe it will work for you :-) - Daniel -- ****************************************************************************** * Daniel Franklin - Postgraduate student in Electrical Engineering * University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************************
