Which TV card are you using? I have an All-In-Wonder 128 on one machine
running gatos. Over the weekend I purchased a TV Wonder VE for my wife.
Unfortunately, it locks up WinME completely. Google searches about
running the card under Linux are promising, since many have said that
the card works flawlessly.
