Is there some "generic" TV card, as the Vesa is for video?
This error is no longer about the TV card itself, it's about the graphics card that has to display the captured images from the TV tuner card's decoder on your monitor, which is then the regular graphics card, since the TV card is separate in this case. The ability to display those type of images needs 3D acceleration functions not provided by the VESA driver-- and for this particular video card, this functionality is only provided by the ATI binary drivers from ATI themselves (closed source driver).
Btw, just as a note Tony, ignore the reference to the GATOS project, even though it mentions ATI cards-- the "some" cards meant are the All-In-Wonder cards (like my AIW 9800SE), or the other ATI cards that combine the TV card and regular graphics card in one device. Since you have a separate TV-tuner card, unrelated to ATI, those drivers are not any use to me (but they may be of use to me, although I hear that the newly-released r200 series driver for the current AIW chips does not yet have sound implemented, so not *much* use as yet ;-) ).
