No Isaac, just something else than GL Vsync. I am not venting my frustrations upon people either, rather just stirring up some new ideas on this. Afterall, this is MythTV, Linux, Open Source... where meeting challenges is the fun of everything! I also could have installed Windows MCE and to be 'just a regular user on the safe side' but I want to be able to participate in meeting the challenges where I can. What I understand now is that all of the devvers use nVidia, can you agree that this diminishes compatibility regarding video-related functionalities? I am not a C++ developer you know; if I were I would have tried to fix the problems myself but I can't. Now on topic; am I talking plain nonsense when I ask whether the VBI device can be used for Vsyncing? What I know is, that it is used for teletext data and 'walks' in sync with the video fields so maybe that is an alternative for using GL vsync. -- Jeroen _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
