Understood, and a great feature if the console is interactive. But this is a "set-top" type of box. No monitor (other than the TV) and no keyboard. Could a switch be added to support a "not-using-console" mode? Maybe I will take a look into this when I find a moment. > Why don't you setup X11 multiheaded and run xawtv on the second screen? Yuck. I am trying to avoid X. First of all, there is no way to get BES enabled TV-Out on the G400 with X and I really don't want the overhead of an X server. > I'd expect that works better. Yes, even fbtv wants to be able to call v4l-conf which wants access to the X server. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
