I appreciate your advise and I will not step in to fix the problem for I think that there are plenty of hackers out there who would enjoy Star Office . If no one steps in to fix the problem then it will not get fixed. (Don't worry. We already have a hacker downloading Star Office and eyeing to fix the linux layer). On my todo list: I am actively getting ACE/elf up and running on -current something that was a total fiasco with a.out. Can you believed the size of this nice ACE test program compiled with -g: {hasty} ls -ald Barri* -rwxr-xr-x 1 hasty rah 82990 May 30 23:37 Barrier_Test Previously with a.out that used to be an 8 megabyte monster. After that I have this little thing to integrate in the bt848 driver: >From Dru Nelson : Here it is and a brief description. I am willing to answer any questions concerning this code to get it into the official hasty FreeBSD driver. I probably won't be working on this anymore, but at least it can be there if someone wants to take it further. As it stands, the code should only work in NTSC video, no checks are done to insure this. It is set up for single capture, then it writes into the buffer (which should be mmaped in). Notice, once vbi capture mode is turned on, that is all that gets captured. No video is captured. In this current form, I had enought BT848 RISC to capture 8 frames back to back. This can easily be changed to capture just one frame. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amancio To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
