Subject: Success with ATI AIW 128
?
I recently read about Lee Sanders'
success with the ATI TV-Wonder VE -- great!
Was there an outcome with the ATI
All-In-Wonder 128 Pro card ?
Did he get it to work
?
I have RH7.3 (2.4.18-3) running
on x86, and an ATI AIW 128 32Mb AGP is being shipped to
me. This board appears to combine the functionality of the 2 boards
that Lee has, ie. TV tuner plus PC video card.
Any successes to report or any
suggestions?

I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 Pro card. I wonder what the differences
are that make yours work with bttv while
mine doesn't. I have Red Hat 7.1 with
kernel 2.4.2-2. Is that too old?

sorts of problems from all you learned
people.

terrible. (if you really want to capture
under Windows, VirtualDub is the business -
although you'll still have to use the wretched ATI software to
change channel - bleaugh !)
