Please check these templates once again
Hi,
I sent these templates for review a little time ago, an received a few
good suggestions for improvement. I did my best to merge those changes,
but I may have made a few stupid mistakes or typos in the process. So
can you check these templates once more before I upload the package?
I'll be happy to correct any type or mistake, but I'd rather not
implement sublte rephrasings since these templates are already being
translated.
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas
Template: em8300/microcode/download
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Download the microcode image from the web?
The upstream developers have tried several microcode images and
selected the one that works best on various cards. So this microcode
image is probably better than the ones you can get from your MS-Windows
drivers. The upstream developers have made it available for download
on their web site.
.
However, because of some legal issues, this microcode
image cannot be distributed by Debian (even in non-free). If you do
not want to download it, you can still extract the appropriate
microcode image(s) from the MS-Windows .vxd file, using em8300mc_ex.
.
Warning: if /usr/lib/em8300/em8300.uc already exists on your system, it
will be overwritten by the downloaded file.
Template: em8300/microcode/download_failed
Type: note
_Description: Failed to download microcode image
The microcode image could not be downloaded from the upstream
authors' web site. You probably won't be able to use your MPEG
decoder card until the microcode image is actually downloaded.
.
To retry, run "dpkg-reconfigure em8300" as root, or download it by
hand from "http://dxr3.sourceforge.net/download/em8300.uc"; and put it
in "/usr/lib/em8300/em8300.uc".
Template: em8300/microcode/file
Type: select
_Choices: None${files}
Default: None
_Description: Which microcode image do you want to use?
Template: em8300/chipset
Type: select
Choices: adv717x, bt865
_Description: Which chip is used on your MPEG decoder card?
Creative DXR3 cards have a bt865 on board, while Hollywood Plus cards
use an adv717x.
Template: em8300/adv717x/options
Type: string
_Description: Options for the adv717x kernel module?
Options can be passed to the adv717x kernel module when it is loaded
to control how it works.
.
Available options are:
pixelport_16bit=x
pixelport_other_pal=x
swap_redblue_pal=x
Where x is 0 or 1. Multiple options should be separated by spaces.
.
Some sets of options have been reported to remove color
problems. Check the package documentation for details.
.
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to find the right parameters
for your card, so you'll have to find them yourself by trial and error.
Template: em8300/options
Type: string
_Description: Options for the em8300 kernel module?
Options can be passed to the em8300 kernel module when it is loaded
to control how it works.
.
Available options are:
activate_loopback=x
bt865_ucode_timeout=x
dicom_control=x
dicom_fix=x
dicom_other_pal=x
use_bt865=x
Where x is 0 or 1. Multiple options should be separated by spaces.

Template: em8300/make_devices
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Create device files for your MPEG decoder card?
You need device files to access your MPEG decoder card.
.
Unfortunately, no major number has been officially allocated yet for
em8300. The major number 121 is currently used, but it's officially
reserved for "LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL USE".
.
Consequently, you may have already chosen to use this major number
for another use. If you have, using the same major number for em8300
may lead to some breakage. In most cases, however, unless you know
for sure that you are already using it, it should be available.
.
If you need to use a different major number for em8300, please read
/usr/share/doc/em8300/README.Debian for more info.
