Hello Alex. Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. That's the problem right there, I'm not really a linux know it all :( My knowledge is limited as I'm a Linux starter, I know some commands but not all of them, perhaps you'll look other way when you see I'm a total newbie, but I have done some search and after trying to install the driver I found in the mailing list and do ./configure, I get a lot of errors and missing packages. Anyway, If you have the time or know some website or that might enlight me on finally installing a working driver with TV out support for my card, I would apreciate it very much. I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty fawn. Thanks again.
