I have an AIW Pro 8MB PCI (Rage Pro w/ BT829) AVview works with RH8.0 using the ati.2 drivers however tv out is only possible with vesa and as far as I can tell AVview needs the ati.2 driver for tv in. the GATOS project has published experimental tv out code for the ATI mobility but they claim it can't do tv in or capture when that option is enabled. it sounds to me like the same problem different driver. my current problem involves getting km (the capture code) to compile.
I'm throwing in the towel with ATI and going with a 2 card solution just so I can get my freevo box working. I was also thinking about revisiting these problem with GATOS later. I'd be interested in helping (test/devel) a freevo plugin for ATI Hardware. On Mon, 2003-09-29 at 17:16, Jesse Stay wrote: > Thanks for sharing your experiences.
