:) nah, just using my new/old email address which isn't work related,
parting from my kmos.org email address to a more personal one. It is
quite a change from my past views, there's been quite a bit of
improvement in the driver for VBI and MPEG which is partly a key to the
newer firmware working, seems that one important thing is that using
multiple vbi buffers and vbi DMA is required to keep from corrupting the
video when using frame based DMA. I always kinda thought the new
firmware ought to be actually better and we just were taking an easy
route out with using block based DMA, trickier to handle the frames,
more xfers but smaller xfers, but we had to stick to what was working
and stable while now we can move ahead finally (also the DMA error fixes
with the pci reg setup seemed very important for this to work stable too).
Thanks,
Chris

I have been experimenting and have found that the newest firmware is
working ok during my tests now, it seems we have possibly gotten the
driver to the point of working with the old firmware and newer
firmware. The newer firmware seems good at framebased DMA, doesn't do
block based, while the older works great for block based DMA and is
buggy with frame based DMA. So try that newest firmware and report the
results, interesting to see if we don't have to worry about that anymore.
Thanks,

How new? Could you post MD5 sums or some other indication of the versions
you want people to try? Probably would be best to compare apples to
apples.
