My Slackware was originally an 8.0 install, but kept updated all the way through 10.1 and up to current. I'm also running kernel 2.6.11.7, NVidia drivers are 6629 & ivtv 0.3.4b One thing I found odd & made me think it was more software than hardware, was that it broke immediately after a software upgrade & although the system would hard-lock if I tried to run X on both the NVidia card & the PVR350, if I just had X running on the NVidia card, I could still run mplayer using the PVR350 for output without any problems (apart from the bad frame-rate). Run X on the NVidia card & try playing a file through the PVR350 with mplayer -vo ivtvosd -zoom -x 720 -y 480 -vf rgb2bgr=swap -framedrop (I need '-vf rgb2bgr=swap' otherwise I get bad colours) -- Ian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
