Are you sure your pictures looked like t6nu's (that is, noise in the signal)? Got a screen shot? If so, I'm amazed. Does your CPU utilization look the same in both window managers? Get any errors/warnings under either window manager when starting fxtv up from an xterm? Running both window managers at the same resolution and color depth?

This question comes up fairly often on -questions. The best solution seems to be buying a camera that uses compact flash, then get a supported USB CF reader. That completely avoids the problem of support for the camera, allowing you a wider choice of cameras. Personally, I like Olympus cameras, which use smart media cards. There are supported readers for that as well, but they tend to be a bit more expensive than the CF readers. In both cases - or if you want to connect the camera directly - you can find lists of things that are known to work with FreeBSD in the -questions archives. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?

'cat somefile.au > /dev/audio' works fine as well. i've checked that no other process has opened the audio device, but still the same problem. as usual, /dev/audio is a symlink to /dev/audio0 et al. specifying /dev/audio0 as the sfmike device thru -y doesnt work either. has anyone had the same experience with either the maestro 2e or with other soundcards, and if so, is this resolvable ? the mailing list archives had a link to a patch which said something about duplex/half-duplex, but the link is just a 404 right now. any help would be appreciated.

I've spent the latter part of the day compiling GNOME aware WindowManagers. All of them have been choppy. The only windowmanager that I ran with fxtv that was not choppy was twm. -- Erich Zigler Pervert the dominant paradigm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sat Nov 10 14:34:17 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from pendragon.tacni.net (mail.tacni.net [216.178.136.165]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 0325C37B41B for ; Sat, 10 Nov 2001 14:34:13 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 46569 invoked by alias); 10 Nov 2001 22:34:12 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO cerebro.superhero.org) (216.201.173.186) by ns1.tacni.net with SMTP; 10 Nov 2001 22:34:12 -0000 Received: (qmail 54427 invoked by uid 1000); 10 Nov 2001 22:35:04 -0000 Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2001 16:35:04 -0600 From: Erich Zigler To: multimedia@freebsd.org Cc: John Utz , Mike Meyer Subject: Re: Choppy picture with Sawfish+GNOME and fxtv Message-ID: <20011110163504.A40791@cerebro.superhero.org> References: <15341.17919.393851.967397@guru.mired.org> <20011110162820.A24944@cerebro.superhero.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <20011110162820.A24944@cerebro.superhero.org>; from erichz@superhero.org on Sat, Nov 10, 2001 at 04:28:20PM -0600 X-Eric-Conspiracy: There is no conspiracy.

I had to use the hack that t6nu posted earlier to get a non-choppy viewing, but the picture was still shoddy. -- Erich Zigler Enough of top and bottom - I want relationships with strangeness and charm!

Makes no sense to me yet either. Sawfish users (and others with this problem) should verify that: fxtv -debug events stabilizes and stops printing events _very_ quickly. If not, it could be that fxtv and the window manager are fighting each other, and capture is being constantly stopped and restarted.
