My card is a cheapo bt878 card=77


I can only see to get the palette Grey running, nothing else shows in the view (showing an empty image container, but not a broken image container).


zmdc.log shows this

dmesg is clear of errors (but here it is anyway)

I've even used it with various other cameras (all PAL), and nothing helps. Although I am mostly sure that the palette/resolution issues are down to the card...

Any ideas?
