Okay, bugreport again :) I loaded ivtv, that gave quite some memory allocation errors (box was up for coule of hours) and trying to load ivtv-fb then failed (it was only then that I saw the memory allocation failures, so no wonder it failed:P) unloading all ivtv modules and modprobe ivtv-fb gave a hard crash so I rebooted and loaded ivtv, that worked okay, then loaded ivtv-fb, no problems there. Then I tried your ivtvfbctl /dev/fb/1 -prepdma and ran downstairs :) the tv showed 2 things: - the upper 80% of the screen gradually changed color from dark to white a couple of times (this is oposite of what you describe it should do?!) and after a while it stopped and just showed a white screen (important:P) - the remaining 20% (at the bottom of the screen) showed... well...something like noise, but it wasn't moving, it where horizontal white lines alternating with black lines, they were not moving and not completely homogeneously filled (I hope you're still with me after this great explanation :P) I ran back upstairs and tried to fbgrab it, but then what I see is a black screen with noise under it (and not a white screen with noise under it as it shows on the tv!) Isn't that interesting! I know nothing of the inner workings, but it seemed to me there is at least one and maybe multiple offsets Remember, this is on 64-bit. the dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 I did yesterday worked okay then (for a couple of hours then it hang the machine), I mean it gave a good picture, no shifts, so it seems ivtv doesn't have this problem I hope you understood, if you need any more info or want me to test stuff, please gimme a yell Thanks, Rutger ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
