hello again. 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 you can always use the card option of 15 then. All card types should/will be listed in your kernel source directory in Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST (helpful reading for anyone else who is stuck without knowing their cardtype :) -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 this is the one thing that made me think, my card isnt a TV-Max. It has no sound out (it does have the internal connections fot btaudio to work on, however, so joy there :) And if anyone can share the 'how did you get btaudio working' with the rest of us, that would be much appreciated :D -documentation only calls for 640x480 maximum resolution, is it actually possible to get it going at 1024x768? In a world of amusing (and it is) the shop that sold the card marked it as Zoltrix TV, so silly moi assumed it was a TV-Max as opposed to the newer TV-Genie. Its even labelled as a 'TV' on the invoice. its not however (so that created a smile here ;) So, it may or may NOT be possible for you, using that card, to get 1024x768. I do know (by sheer pragmatism here) that v4l1 does NOT always give the optimal resolution possible. Then again, v4l2 doesnt get all things right either from what has been said :\ 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. Not a problem, card type 15 should work jst fine for you. regards Stef
