I'm partial to nVidia. Their Linux device driver has worked nice in a FireWire video system I put together. I would like to know if the newer ATI cards that have firewire interfaces are fully supported on Linux. I have seen some references to firewire support, but in other places they say that the ATI cards use a firewire chip that is not supported.
I guess I will check the ATI FAQ. So, thank's for the pointer. I did not check earlier because I expected what you expected.
