I just picked up the ATI Video Wonder VE vard (which I thought was the WinTV card... READ THE BOX BEFORE PURCHASE :) I think it also has a conexant chipset, but SuSE81 autodetected it just fine. I have REALLY been impressed with SuSE81's device management (except for the stupid "one pointer" approach). I enabled my AHA152x, and SuSE automagically detected my CD burner and my scanner, and auto configured them so all the MM apps knew about them. I stuck in the video card and it popped up with the same notice, autodetected and let me autoconfigure, and put a desktop Icon for the card, and all the MM apps see it. Very impressive.
I may still take back the ATI card, though, since I was hoping for stereo, and wanted the Hauppauge card... I think Walmart just stopped carrying the WinTV card in-store, and moved it to online only.
