we have an x-server running on 4xx core (ibm romeo stb chip), initially using s-video output, but then modulated composite.. i'm afraid the framebuffer source wont help you but i thought you might want to be aware of the flicker problem of televisions.. we have implemented software flicker-free control, but this hogs cpu time, and will be moving to a hardware flicker-free option in the near future.. we had to patch the x-server to implement the flicker-free control and this is far from optimal.. i would make sure either the fads board you are using is dammn quick, or has built in hardware flicker-free filters.. cheers, ben -- /\\------------------------------------------------------------------ :::::::::::..ben.b..m2technologyltd.nz..64.9.4448307.130..::::::::::: ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
