I believe this is actually a Conexant Fusion Bt878a. It may have issues with ACPI. I think I remember reading something about this in the btwincap driver. The card I have has this chip, but it doesn't affect me, since I don't use ACPI in Linux, and ACPI isn't supported in OpenBSD. It might not hurt to check out what other chips are on the card. The bttv driver uses some other helper modules. I doubt they're being autoloaded, since you can't find mention of the card in the bttv sources. > > Does your video card support Xv well? > > Yes.

I've noticed that in overlay mode, when other windows overlap the xawtv window, the picture can go black. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
