The size depends on where you are. I'm almost deep fringe (50kms), so I use a full aerial outside on a pole. The T aerial (folded dipole) is not sufficent in my case. 2) tunings are out. You might need micro adjustments. 3) aerial cable is faulty. I have no idea about the nvidia. > > 3. what is your modules.conf configuration. Don't have one available currently. try /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/Insmod-options for the bttv options. there are a couple of char lines alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-o bttv You also need to insmode videodev, i2c???? (something) before the tuner, which is before bttv I have a somewhat dated page at http://www.woa.com.au/linux/how-tos/webcaminstall.html which talks about all this. > > 4. did you have to enter anything into the XF86Config file. I believe you are supposed to enter the modeline for full screen mode, but I never have as I don't use full screen. -- Terry Collins {:-)}}} Ph(02) 4627 2186 Fax(02) 4628 7861 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.woa.com.au Wombat Outdoor Adventures <Bicycles, Books, Computers, GIS> "People without trees are like fish without clean water" -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
