About the ZTV part, I have not had a chance to try this module, even for the Lenovo's project. But AFAIK, this part works find with VIP module with an external decoder to do the video overlay. So please keep this part as what it is now.

We'd like to hear from someone who can confirm that it works when running from a popular Linux distro "out-of-the-box" with one of the popular desktop such as Gnome or KDE. I am wondering how the ztv driver gets loaded as it is not known to the X server.<BR>
