Hello, just a question with regards to an Hauppauge WinTV-Card, Matrox G400-AGP on an Abit VP6 dual-proc Mobo. I just upgraded from a Intel-BX based Board to the Abit VP6 (2x 1Ghz Intel-CPU's, 512MB-Ram, FreeBSD-5.0 current) Almost everything works fine. The one exception is the Hauppauge WinTV-Card. I am using fxtv to watch TV and with the new Motherboard (based on a via apollo pro-chipset) I am getting only approx.1/3 of the picure (for every line from the left) if i am using full resolution (576/768) and direct PCI-Busmaster transfer to the AGP-Card. Low-Res (288/384) works fine. If I let the CPU transfer the data (fxvt goes into that mode if there is some overlap from another window - even though the Brooktree Chip could handle clipping - ) everythings is fine (albeit a bit slow). Just to get another datapoint, I tested this with Linux (Mandrake) with a 2.4.2 Kernel with the exact same results. Somewhere in the internet I have read some statements about 'problems' of PCI-Busmaster via the PCI-AGP Bridge of this chipset (VIA Apollo Pro 133A VT82C694X / VT82C686B) Any one who has seen this problem too? Maybe a solution? Would an other TV-Card work? Which one? Questions, questions ...
