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.
Best Regards,
Chris

What I do get the impression of, is that you are doing battle with a <br>
frankenstein card, something ati has been quite famous for in my now 20+ <br>
year old history, changing the card in the box, making it incompatible <br>
with the published drivers for linux, without updateing a single crossed <br>
t or dotted i on the box. Plain and simple it was not the card I bought <br>
but the next production run. I yelled at ati, and was promised linux <br>
drivers for that chipset would be announced in about 2 weeks. Never <br>
happened, and I wasted almost $85 running out to buy it in about 1999.<br>
<br>
At least the $29 nvidia card worked with the vesa driver. But that <br>
experience taught me to not believe a thing Alex tells me. YMMV.<br>
