Hi Gene, Thanks for replying. I have no idea if it was a low volume card. You are probably right. I just need S-video so I can stream movies for the kids when they come over.
I am thinking of going back to the Xorg.0.log file and looking at the list of cards that driver supports and seeing if I can get one still. What do you think? It would still be nice to get this ALL-IN-WONDER card running, but it is a strange beast; it does TV in. They likely had to change some things to get it to work. The more I think about it, the more I think you are correct.
