  Hi all.

  I'm glad its not just me !

  I've checked cabling, PFCHAN_SWAPBUFFERS, and the composite
  sync setting in ircombine. But still no genlocking,
  according to /usr/gfx/gfxinfo -v

  However, I have managed to crash two pipes (and recover)
  with the following experiment...

  Setup a very small additional channel with ircombine, on
  pipe zero to output sync on green. Then use that sync on
  green as the pipe 1 genlock input.

  gfxinfo -v then says that we are genlocked. Pipe zero went
  totally screwy when I tried to load a different cmb file - I
  had to completely power down the onyx and power up - a reset
  and/or reload of any cmb file wasn't enough :-(

  Sorry Allan, but this really isn't a SMOC, it's a hideous little
  bag of worms that doesn't want to cooperate with any changes,
  but is happy to almost but not quite work if you leave it alone.

  Urgh, battle fatigue !

  Gary.
