If you only have one FF card, the primary device should be 2, unless I remember incorrectly (1 is the FF card). You can also test the Hollywood+ card with MPlayer. There are various parameters that can be given to the em8300 and other dxr3 modules. You need to read the documentation at the dxr3 project SourceForge page and within the source code package to get an idea of the possible problems and solutions. Incorrect parameter values can cause various defects to the picture and it is easier to test different settings with MPlayer. -- Niko Mikkil?
