Thank you, Ian! That is exactly what I had done wrong. Fixed it as you suggested and now it runs like a champ using the trunk version of the X driver (23/7/07). Much, much better than before (dropped frames using fbdev). Many thanks for the insight and the quick response on my other questions, too. --Rob Clark _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
