Ah . . . in my haste reading Cooker mail, I misread your initial post. I use the ATI Wonder card, a stand-alone bttv card that is well-supported, unlike your card. I believe that you need the ati.2 drivers from http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ to enable the TV function for your card. Also look at http://www.reades.com/radeon.html as well. XiG makes drivers available for your card that appear to offer substantial improvements over the XFree86 drivers in addition to supporting TV/video capture. They aren't free, however, at $119 for the version you want (http://www.xig.com/Pages/Atop/DX-DesktopSeries.html). But they do offer a free demo (http://www.xig.com/Pages/Atop/Demos-SummitLine/Demos-DX-PlatinumLinux.html). The XiG drivers for your card also permit you to run Unreal Tournament 2003 (http://www.xig.com/Pages/PrReleases/PROct02UT2003.pdf) if that matters to you. If I owned your card, I'd buy the XiG drivers. (And no, I don't work for them, but I use their driver in my HP ze1210/S3 ProSavage-TwisterK laptop with excellent results.) -- Hoyt http://www.maximumhoyt.com A -- Top posting.
