I first started with my tv card when running R.H. 7.2 and a friend got it going by rebuilding the kernel. When I finally moved to R.H. 8.0 I found the TVcard was checked and setup when booting it up first time. Just had to run scantv then in the edit window, just call xawtv in an Kwindow first, and hit the 'o' key to get the menu. In that be sure to call the channel editor then save. You can go fullscreen or hit 'f' again to go back to smaller window to run the menu 'o'. To capture a frame hit 'g' for a .jpg file. The only other thing I can think of is I did try installing R.H. 9.0 but the tv card wouldn't work so went back to the R.H. 8.0 Warren
