yes, yes i do. here's my relavent hardware config:
asus a7v motherboard
ati all-in-wonder radeon
creative soundblaster live! value
toshiba dvd rom
i did indeed have the missing /dev/video0 problem, but get this, it's doesn't
need to be there if you just wanna watch tv. basically, the X drivers
provided by gatos provide a separate overlay interface (i don't know what
that means) that talks to your video card and pipes the output directly to
the xv interface in X. so now that i have tv on my box, there's no
/dev/video0 directory and nothing in /dev/v4l/.
in the kernel i have the following:
Character devices --->
[*] VIA chipset support (for my via chipset)
<M> ATI Radeon
Multimedia devices --->
<*> Video For Linux
Video For Linux --->
[*] V4L information in proc filesystem
<*> BT848 Video For Linux
Sound --->
<*> Sound card support
<*> Creative SBLive! (EMU10K1)
and in my X config i've got nothing particularly interesting... i'm using the
"radeon" driver and have agp set to 4x.
i'll send you a copy of my kernel config and Xconfig off-list.
