Do you mean Ludvig had to manually switch to one of the other display modes after starting xawtv? I don't have that trouble. Also, I get the random-lack-of-video problem using any tool - eg at some random time during recording using transcode. > Tim, can you have a look at bug 702539 at tvtime/sourceforge/net and > Billys comments at the hardware site?

I have a MS5169 board, with a S3 Trio 3D card (Er, I think - or was that my old one?), so no relation to the Nvidia problem.

That way, when I get them fired and they get all angry with me, I'm a mile away, and I'VE GOT THEIR SHOES! HAW HAW! --Beable van Polasm, alt.religion.kibology
