Which version of XFree are you using? Maybe I should just use 3.x... :(
The only thing I saw in the README was the video memory resizing and
adding DGA support. DGA supposedly loads by default (and seems to be
confirmed by the TV programs), and I did redsize the memory, but it was a
no go. Tonight I'll try switching over to 3.x.

You can't change forcus? I never had that problem.
You can switch channels? I've never been able to do that... (I just use
the composit input.)

I agree. I don't get the speed I'd expect with the "accelerated" voodoo
card.
Thanks, Gabe!
