This is what the driver notice and automatically compensate for in your
examples. Let's do some math using this information:
128kB is 131072 bytes. In this buffer, we want to store two fields, which
leaves 65536 bytes for each field. Using 3168 blocks per field, we get
20.68686868... available bytes per block; 165 bits. We can't allow the
request for 256 bits per block when there's only 165 bits available! The -q50

request for 256 bits per block when there's only 165 bits available! The -q50
option is silently overridden, and the -b128 option takes precedence, leaving
us with the equivalence of -q32.
This gives us a data rate of 165 bits per block, which, times 3168, sums up
to 65340 bytes per field, out of the allowed 65536. The current driver has
another level of rate limiting; it won't accept -q values that fill more than
6/8 of the specified buffers. (I'm not sure why. "Playing it safe" seem to be
a safe bet. Personally, I think I would have lowered requested-bits-per-block
by one, or something like that.) We can't use 165 bits per block, but have to
lower it again, to 6/8 of the available buffer space: We end up with 124 bits

The third example is limited to -q24 through the same process. The second
example, using very similar calculations, is limited to -q48. The only
example that actually grab at the specified -q value is the last one, which
is clearly visible, looking at the file size.

(mostly with Trio 64 but also with some others)
Get the free demo version of Accelerated X from www.xinside.com and try
bttv with it. bttv seems to work with most S3 cards with Accelerated X.
Since I do not know much (better make that almost nothing) about VGA card
programming I do not know the reason for this.
Looks like XFree does something different when setting up the video memory?
Maybe somebody can enlighten me?
Would be nice if somebody could get this to work with XFree since
Accelerated X costs more than some of the grabber cards ...

Better linear frame buffer support for S3 cards will probably be in
XFree 4.0.
- Grabbing is not switched off when changing consoles with XFree.
That's because XFree and some AcceleratedX versions do not send unmap
events.
- Some popup windows (e.g. of the window manager) are not refreshed.
Disable backing store by starting X with the option "-bs"
