Actually I was able, with some "fudge factoring", to get xawtv to work with my pre-Radeon AIW Card, but it took some pretty proficient swearing and a bit of twitching with configuration files to get the job done. Even then, the interface was a bit shaky, with some portions of it that didn't work at all.

However, in its defense, it has a lot more of the configurability that I have come to expect of Mandrake. I can hardly wait until v42 comes out of the cooker and is ready for use with KDE. I understand it is a lot more reliable and thus might work with streaming video better. Can we dare imagine it, watching a VCR/DVD movie while we work? 8-) Dave - -- Dave Laird ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The Used Kharma Lot / The Phoenix Project Web Page: http://www.kharma.net updated 01/20/2003 Year 2 of running Mandrake Linux workstation on a 100% Microsoft-free system.
