Is the XPi CD zoomed video enabled?
Although the display adapter is called the NeoMagic MagicGraph 128ZV, I do not believe the XPi CD is zoomed video enabled. This means that you cannot attach an MPEG/DVD decoder card or any video capture card to one of its PCMCIA slots, since they route video through the ZV port directly to the screen. I learned this fact the hard way, after I bought a Margi DVD decoder card on eBay, which, sure enough, didn’t work.
