I have a cdrom version Mandrake 7.1 with kernel 2.2.15-4mdk "out of the box"
installation everything works great, except when I try installing and using
any capture programs. I have tried 3 of the latest versions of Xawtv, and 2
of the latest Kwintv versions. I have tried the source, configure, make,
install way and the RPM way. None has ever gotten past error messages when I
try to run them. Even though I have the Haupage Wintv pci card with the B878
chip. The latest error message on trying to start it up was a vidmem
conflict between the Xwindow DGA base address and the card. The Win98 drive
in my same machine (E-machine brand with a celeron 366 with 64MB ram) runs
the Windows version perfectly. The fact that all the mini HOWTOs and README
files say it should run fine is just not true.
If anyone has a version that will run on this Mandrake's most current
version, please let me know where I can download it.
Many thanks,
Rick Mercer.
