Hi I'm still using a TV card on Win98 but other PCs have similar TV cards with ancient installs of SuSE, FreeBSD and NetBSD. What works is very dependent on the whole system, cpu, motherboard chipset, operating system and software versions. On one setup I was reliably running FlightGear from NetBSD's linux emulation but neither FreeBSD nor native SuSE on same pc was reliable. TV was also working from NetBSD on that system. You need to know the chipsets to answer what drivers you need then in most cases NetBSD will already have detected and be able to use the TV card. In some cases the card will be detected but not configured due to a variation in chipset version which can be from trivial to impossible to fix. David > > -- > Ottavio
