Thanks in advance,

Template: em8300/microcode/download
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Download microcode image from the Web?
The upstream developers have tried several microcode images and
selected the one that works best on various cards. Therefore, this
microcode image is probably better than the ones you can get from
your Windows drivers. The upstream developers have made it available
for download on their website.
.
However, because of some legal issues, this microcode image cannot be
distributed by Debian. If you do not want to download it, you can
still extract the appropriate microcode image(s) from the Windows
.vxd file, using em8300mc_ex.
.
Warning: If /lib/firmware/em8300.bin already exists on your system, it
will be overwritten by the downloaded file.
Template: em8300/microcode/download_failed
Type: error
_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 "/lib/firmware/em8300.bin".
Template: em8300/microcode/file
Type: select
_Choices: None${files}
Default: None
_Description: Primary microcode:
A microcode image previously installed in /usr/share/em8300/ will be
copied to /lib/firmware/em8300.bin and used.
Template: em8300/microcode/delete_olddir
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Delete old firmware directory?
Multiple microcodes from a previous installation have been detected
in /usr/share/em8000/. Support for multiple microcode images has
been removed from this version, so if you wish to continue using
multiple microcode images you will have to keep these files and
handle the situation manually. You will be responsible for removing
these files once you have finished with them.
.
Most people just need a single microcode image. If you only want to
use one microcode image, or if you do not know why you have multiple
microcode images installed, then you do not need to keep these
microcode images. The extra files will then be removed.
Template: em8300/chipset
Type: select
Choices: adv717x, bt865
_Description: Chip used on MPEG decoder card:
Creative DXR3 cards have a bt865 on board, while Hollywood Plus cards
use an adv717x.
Template: em8300/bt865/options
Type: string
_Description: Options for bt865 module:
Options can be passed to the bt865 kernel module when it is loaded
to control how it works.
.
Options include:
output_mode=comp+svideo|rgb
Multiple options should be separated by spaces.
Template: em8300/adv717x/options
Type: string
_Description: Options for adv717x module:
Options can be passed to the adv717x kernel module when it is loaded
to control how it works.
.
Options include:
output_mode=comp+svideo|svideo|comp|comp+psvideo|psvideo|composvideo|yuv|rgb|rgbs
pixelport_16bit=0|1
pixelport_other_pal=0|1
pixeldata_adjust_ntsc=0|1|2|3
pixeldata_adjust_pal=0|1|2|3
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 em8300 module:
Options can be passed to the em8300 kernel module when it is loaded
to control how it works.

Options include:
activate_loopback=0|1
audio_device=alsa|oss|osslike|none
alsa_index=-1|0|1|2|3|...
dsp_num=-1|0|1|2|3|...
bt865_ucode_timeout=0|1
dicom_control=0|1
dicom_fix=0|1
dicom_other_pal=0|1

Template: em8300/no_device_creation
Type: note
Default: true
_Description: No creation of device files
Special device files must exist to enable access to your MPEG decoder
card.
.
You seem to be using a static /dev. As no major number has been
officially allocated yet for the em8300, special device files can't
be created.
.
Hence, you'll have to choose a major number to use (121 is used by
default, but it's officially reserved for "LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL USE")
and manually create the corresponding device files. Please read
/usr/share/doc/em8300/README.Debian for more info.
