Hi again Rick, Thanks for the info.
There seems to be a bug in ivtvfbctl.c. When I compile it (even from svn trunk), I get the warning: ivtvfbctl.c: In function ‘main’: ivtvfbctl.c:238: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type looking at the code shows that the variable 'ch' in main should be an int rather than a char. (otherwise it would never get out of the getopts loop) Now that I can set the alpha, I can test my tv out (I hope)... Cool! I get static! (hey, at least it works) I have been able to capture video without a problem (at least a for a minute or two), but need to test it a bit more. I've aready setup mythtv, but when it tries to tune to the default channel, I get an illegal instruction error (I'm using a G3, and the ATrpms are probally optimized for a G4 or better). Still, it's progress! Thanks again, Henry Ricardo Lugo writes: > Well, I tested the ivtvfbctl command on my machine, and it hangs for > me as well.
