Good point.. I keep forgetting people don't have telepathy :-)

Software:
  Gentoo linux
  2.4.2 kernel w/ bytesex.org v4l patches, among others
  XFree86 4.3.0-r1
  xv 3.10
  nvidia driver 1.0.4363

Hardware:
  ASUS A7v333 mobo
  AthlonXP 1800+
  GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP 8x
  Using DVI output to Dell 1900fp


I'm beginning to wonder if it's my kernel.. I'm using a patched version 
of the kernel from gentoo, which provides performance enhancing features 
(like low latency scheduling, etc).. however I had replace the v4l 
sources in this because their patches for v4l were out of date.
