  Careful.  You're using an ATI card with the GATOS drivers.  You must
load the 'km' module to get a V4L compatible /dev/video device,
otherwise the card provides an XVideo-based API to control the tuner
which is not useful for capturing frames for compression.

  The V4L interface exported through the km is a little strange though
and some apps do not like it.  As well, it only supports a read()-based
API and is poor for performance.  This is what people tell me though, I
do not own one of the cards.

  Good luck,
  -Billy
