>When I use VNC to access the TV computer it works fine but the >window that shows the video signal is black. That's because TV cards normally use an "overlay" mode to boost performance and free the CPU. The TV signal never reaches the video card's framebuffer where VNC can see it, but is instead transmitted directly through the video card's RAMDAC via a small buffer and the PCI bus. If your TV application supports it, turn off "overlay" mode. You will probably see performance drop considerably, but it should allow VNC to see it. However, also be advised that VNC is not optimised for transmitting video images, and will likely perform very poorly in this configuration. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not for attachments) website: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/ geekcode: GCS$/E dpu(!) s:- a21 C+++ UL++ P L+++ E W+ N- o?
