<confession time> Ok, I downloaded the linux4.tv driver again and tried it on my SC2200 board and I can't get it to work either. Very strange, since I had it working with LinuxBIOS a couple of months ago. It might be that I had to turn on some clock or PLL by hand. </confession time> Oh well, I'll try to see if I can find a backup of the kernel I used then and see if I can get it running again. /Christer -- "Just how much can I get away with and still go to heaven?"
