<DIV><SPAN class=114543510-27102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am running an Epia
M1000 with a DVB-t nova card and the system is working extremely well. My
one nagging problem has been improving the video quality as much as
possible.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=114543510-27102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am very keen to
remove the VT1622 tv chips deflicker filter. I have compiled XFree and the
CVS unichrome drivers and everything works extremely well. I am using only
20-25% cpu with the system running as the front and backend. I see that
Terry Barnaby has put into CVS a deflicker mod in the recent CVS, but I can't
quite work out wether that means that the deflicker filter is turned
off.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=114543510-27102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is some logic
in via_mode.c which appears to turn the filter on or off based on reading
another register ??? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=114543510-27102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have also tried to
apply the color OSD patch, but I get lots of rejects, and the patch fails to
apply cleanly. I am guessing that this is just that the CVS tree has
change a little in recent days since the EPIA osd patch ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=114543510-27102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there any easy

issued ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
