I tested with 4 different cards: Lifeview, Philips Tiger and Europa and the Medion. The Philips cards are at least compatible with the Compro and the ASUS. I can get hands on one other important card in short term. So there is quite some test coverage. The GPIO thing can cause trouble with modern hybrid cards like the ASUS which need proper handling of the GPIOs. Hermann, can you roll back the tda1004x driver to see whether the old version works with your card? This went a bit fast. I didn't expect that Mauro would update the patches again... Hartmut
