We're waiting for ATI drivers that fully support Xorg 6.8 which is the latest stable Xorg release. And you normally can't have two graphic cards in one box.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: BT848 driver.
Tony, before giving up I'd say let's look into your xorg.conf first. There's a lot we could do regarding the stalling ATI drivers. For sound - that's a total different issue. I assume you already plugged WinTV's audio out into your sound card's line in ;-) Then we should check what sound card you're using, ALSA config and so forth. Let's strangle that beast!

The obvious fact that you're having problems with ATI drivers now is really sad - but at least you're not alone with THAT issue - I'm waiting for these damn new drivers as well.

Is there some "generic" TV card, as the Vesa is for video? I never could get my S3 video card to work fully and properly, and always am configuring video for vesa, so I get with it all I need. Similarly with sound: I am just getting the chipset of motherboard from MB manual (or nearest one), I have an on-board AC97, and it works with any "generic" driver. (Eg. MB chipset is 815, but it works fine with 810 driver.) More detailed "tweaking" and fumbling I leave for "better times". (-: I mean when I already have a functional system, and someday really need some "features" brought only by exact driver. Then, I usually am prone to do pretty rural and mean things with non-functional new Linux installations: I just copy, for instance, XF86Config from one Linux to the new one. (-; So, would that help if you would copy your config files for TV card from SuSE to the Gentoo? - -- Mica -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iD8DBQFB6tiP9q62QPd3XuIRAricAJ9rc4CcCTftJua1iX31rxc+UtWZRwCcDVoA SJWSVv9Xp6J4aUc8szTjRBA= =e3u8 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
