In the latest version of XFree 4 I have not checked yet. first I thought even NTSC doesn't work, becouse when I start xawtv and I am in PAL, then I switch to NTSC - picture is broken - only half of it is visible, it is fixed when I resize window - then I have stable, blackandwhite picture PAL-M gives me exactly the same effect, bw picture I read this PDF about bt848 and IIRC color is defined by Fsc value - for PAL it's 4.43 Mhz and for NTSC it's 3.58, what I need is Fsc=4.43, like in PAL, but picture should be drawed like in NTSC, combining PAL's and NTSC's tvnorm helps a little - in 320x240 I can see whole picture, not only 2/3, but when I resize window - horizontal lines are messed, aren't they to long or to short? but in next parameter - IFORM - I can't select lenght I can only select format (NTSC/PAL) is it a way to select mode on lower level? -- I love the night So many shadows Unholy light Secrets of the heart Leave 'em in the dark "Lord of the Last Day" Forever - Ronnie James Dio
