Hello, I have just spent the last week in frustration and hair
pulling and most of all DISAPOINTMENT. The problem is: I own an ATI All In
Wonder Radeon 7500 video Card. TV-In/Out. The card is hosted by an Intel P-4 1.6 Ghz,
400+ RAM, I have tried Red Top v8, Mandrake v.9 and v.9.1, SuSe, and Peanut. None will show me a display on my LG Electronics Studioworks 700S Monitor. 17 inch. I do not mean to have an “attitude” here but Gee
Whiz, I spent a lot of money on this state of the art
system. I love the Open Source concept and was so looking forward to
being a part of it. But I have to SEE it. I only see a boring black and cold
screen with a text prompt. How come after 10 years Linux can not solve the ATI issue.
After all, ATI is almost an Industrial Standard When it comes to Video Capture
cards. Did all the Linux developers completely miss something. Or is there no one with the skill and expertise to make
these video cards work with Linux. Does the world have to rely upon the developers at Microsoft
to capture video with their home computers? I have loaded Win’95, Win’98, Win M, Win XP with
ATI capture cards and they have all worked perfectly and Flawless. NO
PROBLEMS. So what’s up with Linux? Do we wait another ten years? I
don’t think ATI or Microsoft will wait. They will move on. I am about ready to give up on Linux too. Just say
“Forget it ! ! !” and throw Linux to the
wind. Write it off as one of the most frustrating and
disappointing experiences of my life of 47 years. But I still have hope, that somebody will help me. I have
searched the web and there I learned that this ATI issue Is nothing old or unique. The web
is full of ATI video card owners with this same problem. This is not very
impressive. I ask again, If MS Windows (All versions) can do it since
1994, How come Linux can’t. Please help me and try to understand or overlook my
frustrations. Thanks From The Keyboard of Rene Ranville:
