Whoever's working on that FAQ, how about adding this one? This is definitely a PCI problem, as has already been noted. The typical solution is to adjust the PCI latency in the BIOS - this works most of the time. If you feel up to a bit of hacking, you can also try find the occurence of "BT848_GPIO_DMA_CTL_PKTP_32" in bttv-driver.c . Change the "32" to "16", or "8" to make teh Bt8x8 more agressive in aquiring PCI bandwidth - will slow the system down, but get you better video... Justin
