Hmmm... I guess nobody is going to use this card in a new Set-Top-Box
design.

The special OSD vs. 2MB (and full PAL resolution) memory problem should
not be a real limitation for a Set-Top-Box, which has also a graphics
card. We will the solve the problem while using the graphics card for
the OSD via DirectFB (www.directfb.org). So the conclusion is: no
problem for us.

Talking about stability: I would guess that convergence is not going to
produce software which hangs a box like the manufacturer of your box did
;-). We do not have problems displaying a full featured EPG/OSD stuff on
a video. Even half transparent or what ever... Please do not compare a
driver and a solution without the possibility to check the solution.

Bye... SP.
