Sometimes (1 out of 10 times) when starting X on the ivtv-fb, it just sits there waiting with a blank screen until I change the keyboard focus (CTRL-ALT-F8) to the X display.

Next time I'll go for the cheaper stuff ;-) Regards, Stanley. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
