The x driver you are using does not work with 100zz version of ivtv. It relies on fixes that are in the newer release candidate. Either use the original driver from bad site or upgrade to the latest 0.2. Release candidate. I would recommend the later since that seems to be pretty stable now. J

These registers affect the vertical and horizontal offsets that the 7127 uses for timing etc. I believe (but I may be wrong) that they will affect the horizontal and vertical offsets of both the OSD and the mpeg playback. What we really want is something that just moves the OSD. The chip works by

It is possibly the alpha setting. The x driver does not reset the alpha setting so if global alpha is 0 then you wont see anything but in that case you would normally see a black image so that probably isn’t very likely.   Does the image change when you start X.   You could also try run

It should work so I guess I would start by feeding another sound source into your line in and seeing if that comes out. Then you can determine whether it’s the audio card/line in problem or the 350 output. At least then you know where to start looking for the problem.   John
