granted, using an all-in-wonder card in linux is a pain in the ass, and i obviously wouldn't make that mistake again, but for now, i'm stuck with it and i have lost the ability to watch tv on my computer... anyone care to help? here's the story:
1. installed gentoo from 1.4rc4 cd including kde using various USE flags. 2. went to gatos.sourceforge.net, downloaded the latest binary drivers decompressed the tarball, and copied the drivers into their assigned directories: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri /drivers /multimedia 3. watched some tv (yay!) 4. discovered the "debug" use flag, added it to my USE flags and ran: "emerge --emptytree world" 5. repeated step 2. 6. typing xawtv at the command prompt give me: (~) $ xawtv This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.20-gentoo-r6) can't open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway v4l2: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory v4l2: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory v4l: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory no video grabber device available there is no /dev/v4l/anything, but from what i found online, the gatos drivers don't actually use it, instead they use the X drivers i copied into those directories, but for some reason, i still have no tv... have you seen my tv? the only thing i have to offer those who might help is the following snippet from /var/log/XFree86.0.log: (**) RADEON(0): Using AGP 4x mode (II) RADEON(0): AGP Fast Write disabled by default (II) RADEON(0): Depth moves disabled by default (II) RADEON(0): Page flipping disabled (!!)
