Yes, you need to flash the onboard bios, (notice I didn't say otherwise), but installing a modchip is no longer required. Works fine as my in-car Freevo client :-) John Snowdon - IT Support Specialist -==- School of Medical Education Development

2004-02-06 Thread John Snowdon
I looks to me as if it is bombing out before doing any recording at all. Python seems to be trying to open a file for writing (mode 'w'), and the O/S is reporting that that particular mode is not allowed on the file. Looks like a python/linux-fat32 driver problem, rather than freevo. John

Remember if you're calling 'startx' instead of 'X', you need to give a double minus '--' before you add any arguments. E.g. Startx -- -dpms (etc.) John Snowdon - IT Support Specialist -==- Faculty of Medical Sciences Computing Dept School of Medical
