Hi, I thought I'd best post this messages and the earlier messages in the bottom because I migh not be the only one having trouble with XAW and a Pinnacle TV card. - Intel on-board chip- set, Unfortunaltely I don't know the exact specs. - The computer has dual boot Lilo - The TV and videocrads work OK under win 2000 - I do not get the channel menu (I think, maybe I have missed it), just the menu with the settings. But when I change channels, they are all unclear. Any help greatly appreciated, MArtijn, AMsterdam, The Netherlands -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: etharp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Verzonden: maandag 28 mei 2001 23:39 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Re: [newbie] XAW - Trouble with XAW on Pinnacle Studio PCTV might not help you ...might not even help me... you should make sure the list see this , cause I ain't no mandrke guru... just a guy trying to help out. that said, there are two (or more ) different versions of xfree86 with Mdk8.0. version 4.0x, version 3.36, and 3.36 with 3d optimizations. The fact the Video is intel is good, the fact it is onboard is ok, but what chip set. I am sorry if you went over this before... does this computer dual boot? does the video card work in windoers? if you have a channel menu does it make any difference what channel you select? does it list all the channels you get on your regular tv?
