I had to get it from funet, piwo is way too slow everytime :(( too bad
coz when it works, it looks like the site is very interesting.

Any change to do for the mintlibs? or should it work as is?

hmm VERY puzzling.. I thought these sync probs came from the videl
itself. (also appears in singletos, or magic, so mint (I thought was
not the prob)).
2) You could MAYBE hack a little the vcons themselves. 
3) as I expected, with this mint kernal, the sync errors are still
there. So, are we talking about the same sync prob?

anyone working on some C header file to access these new calls?
Yves Pelletier? ;)
