I have an Asus A7V266-E (Via KT266A/VT8233 chipset) system with AMD
Athlon 1800+ CPU, NVidia GeForce3 Ti200 card and SBlive! audio card. I
recently installed a new IOmega Buz card (zr36067, if that matters).
Input source is a DirecTV settop box using S-Video.
Kernel is RH7.2 with custom 2.4.18 kernel, compiled, I hope, with the
correct options. My lsmod is below. To me it looks
like the Buz and its chips are being detected and the right modules are
loaded. However, the Buz card is not working right, see below. Symptoms
are:
1) The xawtv TV image is there, but its "lime green" and extremely
grainy. I can fool around with brightness/hue/contrast/color and make it
a little better, but it basically looks ..... terrible. Output from
xawtv debug level 2 is below.
2) A test with lavrec doesn't work, either. The output from debug level
2 is below.
Would very much appreciate any ideas and suggestions to resolve!
