All the time, I was loading the saa7134 and the v4l modules after I started XFree86. If I load the before I start XFree86, overlay behaves considerably better. It's still a bit quirky, and can be provoked to malfunction, but it's better than it was before. I still prefer grabdisplay at this moment; in my situation, it's much more robust. I'll accept the 5% CPU usage. > A little off topic: really best performance and quality I've got just > with 2.6 kernel. I never tried with 2.4, so I can't tell :) Marcel
