Re: Zoltrix TV-Max NTSC and xawtv

[Cosma Arthur <tux_fan@xxxxxxxx>]

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.


Regards,
Arthur
