Thanks for the tip, but forgive my ignorance: I don't know what /dev/fb/2 is! I have /dev/fb which is a link to /dev/fb0. I thought that /dev/fb0 was my framebuffer device. Am I wrong about that? At any rate, I did a chmod a+rw on /dev/fb0, but this did not have any effect on the osd. By the way, I said before that going into edit mode causes mythfrontend to freeze. I was wrong about that. Nothing freezes. It's just that edit mode becomes hard to use without the osd... Anyway, I am stumped on this. Do I need a more recent ivtv? I am currently running ivtv-0.1.10-47_pre2_ck100zz.rhfc2.at. Peter
