The saa7134 is PCI 2.2. I've seen VIA USB 2.0 cards which are PCI 2.2 that don't even work with Intel i440BX chipsets: the device gets detected in Win98SE, but you get a BSOD, or in Windows XP: the device gets detected but everything you connect to it doesn't work. Also, the saa7134 driver in linux only supports specific cards. I bought a no-name thingy a while ago, to return it and get a Pinnacle PCTV back for it two days later. Both were saa7134 cards, but the pinnacle card worked out of the box :) _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
