:) In my defense, what I mean is that linux is catching Windows Disease- 90% of the time it works perfectly out of the box, but when it doesn't there's just nothing you can do but buy new hardware. > > You may be trying too hard.

Well, it definitely isn't identifying it (there's no mention of any capture card in the dmesg, AND xawtv is not installed. I went through the install tool but didn't see xawtv listed under any of the options. I didn't do the install myself, it was an admin who has since moved on to greener pastures. Was there a package he missed? Oh, I'm running fedora core: uname -r: 2.6.17-1.2141_FC4smp and my card is a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150MCE LP. cheers, ric _______________________________________________ Pyro-users mailing list [email protected] http://emergent.brynmawr.edu/mailman/listinfo/pyro-users
