Hi, Sorry for insisting, I'd really like this template to be checked, so I can try to have it translated. The template is attached to this message, to ease the reviewing work.
I hope this list is not really dead. Correct english is important to achieve a high quality distribution. Thanks in advance, Nicolas
Template: em8300/microcode/download Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Do you want to download the microcode from the web? The upstream developers have tried several microcodes and selected the one that works best on various cards. So this microcode is probably better than the ones you can get from your Windows drivers. They have made it available for download in their web site. . Unfortunately, because of some legal issues, this microcode cannot be distributed by Debian (even in non-free). If you do not want to download it, you can still extract one from your Windows drivers using em8300-mc_ex. . Warning: if you already have a /usr/lib/em8300/em8300.uc file, it will be overwritten. Template: em8300/microcode/download_failed Type: note _Description: Failed to download microcode The microcode could not be downloaded from upstream web site. You probably won't be able to use your MPEG decoder card until the microcode is actually downloaded. . To retry, you can run "dpkg-reconfigure em8300" as root, or you can download it by hand from "http://dxr3.sourceforge.net/download/em8300.uc" and put it in "/usr/lib/em8300/em8300.uc". Template: em8300/microcode/file Type: select _Choices: None${files} Default: None _Description: Which microcode do you want to use? Template: em8300/chipset Type: select Choices: adv717x, bt865 _Description: Which chip is used on your MPEG decoder card? Creative DXR3 cards normally have a bt865 on board, while Hollywood Plus cards use an adv717x. Template: em8300/adv717x/options Type: string _Description: Do you need any options for the adv717x kernel module? Options can be passed to the adv717x kernel module when it is loaded to control how it works. . Available options are: pixelport_16bit=x pixelport_other_pal=x swap_redblue_pal=x Where x is 0 or 1. Multiple options can be separated by spaces. . Certain sets of combinations have been reported to remove color problems. Look at the documentation for details. . Unfortunately, there is currently no way to find the right parameters for your card, so you'll have to find them yourself by trial and error. Template: em8300/options Type: string _Description: Do you need any options for the em8300 kernel module? Options can be passed to the em8300 kernel module when it is loaded to control how it works. . Available options are: activate_loopback=x bt865_ucode_timeout=x dicom_control=x dicom_fix=x dicom_other_pal=x use_bt865=x Where x is 0 or 1. Multiple options can be separated by spaces. . Certain sets of combinations have been reported to remove color problems. Look at the documentation for details. . Unfortunately, there is currently no way to find the right parameters for your card, so you'll have to find them yourself by trial and error. Template: em8300/make_devices Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Create device files for your MPEG decoder card? You will need device files to access your MPEG decoder card. . Unfortunately, no major number has been officially allocated yet for em8300. Major number 121 is currently used, but it's officially reserved for "LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL USE". . Hence, you might already be using this major number for something else. If you are, using the same major number for em8300 will lead to some breakage. If you don't know if you're already using this major number, you're probably not.
