I recently read an article that researchers in Europe used the Linux version as part of a automatic guiding system (ie, the car totally drove itself). Have you increased the number of DMA pages (METEOR_ALLOC_PAGES) when you are using RGB24? the default of 217 pages which is not enough space for even 640x480 (*3 bytes per). I have not seen the new boards, so I cannot comment on the revised SAA7116. You are correct the Philips web page apparently does not provide a data sheet for the 7116. You may want to request a new Desktop video Data Handbook IC manual. --mark. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
