Strange.. I removed the card from the wintendo machine, and inserted it back into the linux machine. I had to rmmod, modprobe the ivtv module a few times to get the firmware to load and successfully tune into a channel without having firmware timeout issues, but after all this the red color now seems to be correct. The image is flickering though, about two times a second (this didn't happen in windows). -- hw _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
