Really :) A couple of months ago (late Nov) I built (for someone else) a redhat 8.0 box that had a flyview3000/saa7134 in it. It was a dual-boot box, and - partially to impress my client:) - I really wanted to get this card working with linux as well as blozers... but alas, the card/chipset was not natively supported. So I did some web searching and finally found two tarballs that had drivers that did support it... saa7134-0.1.11.tar.gz saa7134-0.2.0.tar.gz They didn't cleanly compile with the default rh80 kernel because it expected v4l2, so I ended up building a new kernel with the v412 patches (using the rh80 kernel-source rpm). (I have another tarball here that I used to patch it, v4l2-20020723.tar.gz). I'm not sure now which version of the saa7134 driver finally worked, but work it did - and very nicely too :) I don't have access to the box any more, but its owner is still happy enough with what I did for him :) I never did try doing anything with the remote irda. I have no idea where I got the driver modules from, try a google search (that's how I found them). But if you are desperate I can mail them to you (approx 67k each tarball). > Robert L.
