Regarding my recent reply.  These instructions are what I used for
Phoebe as well.  I did lose XRANDR though.

Subject: [GATOS]ATI All in Wonder 128 and Mandrake 9.1
Date: 28 Mar 2003 10:40:57 -0800

For those of you that own an ATI All in Wonder 128 and
are trying to install Mandrake 9.1 with TV Tuner
support for xawtv, I'd like to share my experience.

Unlike earlier Mandrake distributions (e.g. 8.2),
out-of-the-box support for my card's TV tuner did not
work in Mandrake 9.1.  

Relevant hardware:
Abit KT7 motherboard
Athlon 1GHz processor
192MB PC100 RAM
SB 16 Value (PnP ISA)

After install the 9.1-supplied GATOS and xawtv RPMs, I
was getting the same errors as Chris McHugh 
(__7IWindowPcT1PUlii, etc.).  None of the applications
that want to display the tuner as an Xv overlay would
work.  So I tried installing the most recent version
of ati.2 for XFree86 4.3.

BIG mistake.  When restarting X, my computer's screen
went blank, and stayed that way.  Luckily, I could
still boot into single user mode, so not all was lost.

So I did some checking in Google, newsgroups, and this
mailing list and found the answer.

I noticed this post (
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=4018994
) from benoitDV, and since I had pretty much the same
AIW card (mine has 32MB instead), I decided to give it
a try.  I downloaded and installed ati.2 binaries
4.2.0-16 (experimental 16) and guess what?  TV works! 
And even better, 3d acceleration still works to!  

Well, now I'm happy and I figured there might be other
people out there who are experiencing this problem - I
hope it works.
