It could be a TV tuner, but most likely its so old and rare that no linux
driver type has written a driver for it.

Can you take a photo of the card?  Specifically looking for a chip with bttv
on it.

You may save hours and hours of time by buying a new supported hauppauge
tuner card.

Subject: A 'new' /old video card


Hi all

I have been given a Kasan WinX Pioneer IV card which is now driving my
monitor at 1024x768 15bpp. It also has video in, video out, antenna and
svhs? out and possibly a tv tuner. The 1 advantage so far is it gives ma an
extra 64 meg of ram.

I gather it is a very old card.

Google has not helped me much. Should I be able to output to a tv with this
card? No joy from the video out plug on my 1st test. Am I missing drivers
for output or tv tuning etc. All advice welcome.

TIA

Barry
