You just can't use chroma keying for the OSD.
nVidia used to produce the GeforcePCX 5300, which was basically (IIRC) a GeforceFX 5200 with a PCI Express-to-AGP bridge chip. I found one on eBay yesterday and snagged it for about $40; when it arrives, it's going into my Mythbox and the 6200 I bought for it last weekend is going back to Fry's. (My main complaint with the 6200 is that colors are way too saturated, and there's no way to crank them back to more natural levels within MythTV.) _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDx+MoVgTKos01OwkRAltQAJ9nG8gXGQFUBtU5UZG2y2oqU3VtBQCbB7lU /jAARV5xBI5QN1dLrkW0464= =xag/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
