Stef, I Really appreciate your prompt reply. I will try your suggestion, however I am a bit puzzled for three reasons: -card # 46 is the Genie TV, which, as far as I know is a BT878 card and mine is a TVmax basd on the BT848 -my card has a sound output connector (mini jack, 3.5mm) as well as in/out connectors for the cdrom audio so that you can route the cdrom through the tvmax -documentation only calls for 640x480 maximum resolution, is it actually possible to get it going at 1024x768? I also run Mandrake (8.1) with a 2.4 kernel. FYI, video is 3dfx 3/2000 and audio sblive value/oem. I would appreciate some clarifications. Thank you very much.
