Umm, I have no idea why changing your video card would affect the
capture card, but obviously something in the TNT2 M64 now interferres
with the capture card.
Is this Linux we are talking about. I only answer Win95 questions for
servere $.
There is no reason to update the drivers unless the newer drivers have
some new feature. What are your startup values for the five drivers and
have you changed anything of them.

Ordinarily I would tend to agree, but I upgraded to the nvidia 0.9.6 drivers last week and it broke... well lotsa stuff really. I was surprised to see really bad TV quality too. Like interference in the Xawtv window while moving the mouse etc. Changing the capture method from 'overlay' to 'grabdisplay' made it even worse. Needless to say... death to the 0.96 drivers, im back to using 0.95 (which works perfectly with my GF2 MX). But I dont think this is what he's having trouble with (seeing as he doesnt know where to d/l the new drivers). Just thought I'd bitch about how annoying the new 0.96 drivers were :-) Arun -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

If it ain't broke, then don't fix it.
So why did I upgrade from CPM then?

I had a word processor - Spellbinder,
I had a spread sheet - Super Calc
I had a database - Dbase II
I had comms (300 baud)
I had email - Fidonet
I had games - space invaders, and that other boring thing,
The list goes on.
I even had a S100 bus
The machine was luggable
Then the cmos battery shat itself and carved out tracks in the mobo
(hand size)
And I then had an unrepairable ophan, but CP/M was fine.
Actually, the only thing I was missing was a computer compiler - I just
wasn't too keen on hand compiling.
