Hey Randall,

I'm a bit confused too, but..

I've got this (maybe not the Pro version, not sure).

Not quite

I do

Here's what I did (I think. I did take meticulous notes, which I
promptly lost.  Now, the only notes I can find pertain to failed
attempts to get grabbing to work).

1) Install the ati.2 binaries, something like ATI-4.2.0-11.i386.tar.gz,
as I remember you untar in /usr and that's that.

2) edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

Here's snippets of my current working version:

Section "Module"
	# Load  "record"	# X event recorder
	# You only need the following two modules if you do not use xfs.
	# Load  "freetype"	 # TrueType font handler
	# Load  "type1"		# Adobe Type 1 font handler
	Load  "dbe"		# Double-buffering
	Load  "GLcore"		# OpenGL support
	Load  "dri"		# Direct rendering infrastructure
	Load  "glx"		# OpenGL X protocol interface
	Load  "extmod"		# Misc. required extensions
	Load  "v4l"		# Video4Linux
EndSection


Section "Device"
	Identifier  "ATI Mach64"
	Driver      "ati"
	BoardName   "Unknown"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Linux Frame Buffer"
	Driver      "fbdev"
	BoardName   "Unknown"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "ATI Mach64"
	Monitor    "NEC LCD1550V"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
	Mode         0666
EndSection


3) ./configure ; make ; make install the latest xawtv, I used
xawtv_3.74.tar.gz

Works for me, I see no relevent stuff in modules.conf.  I'll go see what
lsmod says is going on when I next get to the machine.

Like I say, where I'm stuck with the ATI AIW is capturing (posted to
this list a week or two back).

-P.
