Not from me.

The problems I thought I had turned out to be due to my cheapo S3
virge card with DRAM not being able to handle the bandwidth, and the
driver was losing lots of frames.  If I reduce my X resolution,
it works fine.

Incidentally, the frames-per-second ioctl looks all wrong: it does
"temporal decimation" by fields, which means that the RISC program
doesn't see alternate odd-even fields as it expects.  Also it assumes
60Hz.  Can someone confirm that it doesn't work under NTSC either?

I mailed Randall about adding channel-set selection to fxtv.
