not much. but be careful when it comes to setting up dri. i managed to get my tv working, but since was using different drivers, i lost my dri, so there were separate instructions to make it work. among which were "run this script and everything should just work(tm)". not only did everything NOT "just work" but i had no idea how to fix what it did and had to unmerge X, manually delete the /usr/X11R6 directory and re-emerge everything just so i could get X back. o and if you figure out how to get video capture going and have something more useful to add than "fiddle with source" please share it with the group. i'd love to hear your insight as i'm running an all-in-wonder radeon. outside of that though, good luck ;-) -- without law or compulsion, men would dwell in harmony - lau tzu, "tao te ching: chapter xxxii" -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
