I had to modify the tuner, GPIO, and audio mux masks to get my ATI TV Wonder/VE to work properly, even though there was an entry in the bttv sources for that card. Maybe see if there is some other info about your card in the LGPL windows driver http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/ That's where I got the mask values that worked for my card. For the tuner, I just looked at the sticker on the card. What TV card card do you have? Does your video card support Xv well? Do you use overlay or grabdisplay mode in xawtv? What about GL? What else is on your display at the same time? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
