I've not had any problems with the ati.2 driver either, except that it leaves the monitor in a trashed state when I exit X and things aren't reset until I reboot. > In adition the avview utility requires: > ffmpeg >0.4.5 (0.4.6 available on cvs at sourceforge.net) > video4linux support... could Fbsd linux emulation work with > video4linux kernel modules? No. It's a kernel module. The Linuxulator maps Linux syscalls into FreeBSD syscalls, it doesn't change APIs inside the kernel. You'd have to port the module to FreeBSD. > Please help, someone? > I'd like to get rid of my VCR and TV ;) I don't think that will do the trick. I've been using a Brooktree card for recording video on FBSD for years, and the quality just isn't up to a VHS tape. You could install Linux as a second boot OS, or buy a separate card for capture. I know, neither is very appealing, but those are the paths that are most likely to work in the near future. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
