Curious which "normal" end users do you know which feels welcome by suggestive circuit diagrams ? 8) The feature section is not a feature section rather a "hacker's tool chest". It will be replaced by a short paragraph outlining the technical aspects of the the driver: PCI to PCI burst dma , hardware support for clipping, different color depths, yuv, rgb16, rgb24, rgb32, etc... unified interface for various tuners found in different boards. Resources will be replaced by Applications There is a little bit more text fix up however I just wanted to know if we are in the ball park or not so far I think we are. And the "Hacker's Tool Chest" section will be moved to the end of the section.
