 |I recently brought up my new machine, and one of the things that I stuck
 |into it was a Hauppage card.  I have to start off by saying video is
 |working great (I have a coax bridged from my cable box) and I'm kinda
 |awestruck at what I'm seeing.

Yeah, it's kind'of amazing that ordinary PC hardware can hack the bandwidth 8^)

 |Anyhow, the docs (which got me working so smoothly!) don't seem to
 |answer one question.  There seems to be some link to X10 type stuff, the
 |remote control type things.  I'd really like to have X10 capability
 |here, but I don't see any docs at all referring to X10 capabilities of
 |the Hauppage directly, just some sort of left-handed references here and
 |there.
 |
 |Is there a hardware writeup (better than the really anemic thing that
 |came with the board) that tells me what capabilities are on the card?
 |What's the link to X10?  Should I go elsewhere to find that out?
 |
 |If so, what's a good X10 card, or where else ought I to go look at?

What "link to X10 type stuff" are you referring to.  A while back, I cooked
some rudementary fxtv/moused support for the X-10 Mouse Remote (a
TV-remote-like device).  For setup info see section 1.6.3 in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fxtv/README.

Also, there's a Hauppauge Remote that I remember seeing list traffic on.
Haven't had a chance to catch up with the state of things there.  There may
be driver support -- you might search the list archives.

Hope this helps.

Randall
