After installing the km from ati.2 I got xawtv and avview to both work, but mp4live still does not work It still says "Failed to open /dev/video0: no such device". In xawtv and avview I select s-video or composite (I just had a brain freeze, and the box is across town right now) and pal_m and both programs work fine. mp4live does not have the same options, it only gives me a browse button to brows the "/dev" folder, and I have no idea what to try. All the /dev/video* gives the same error. Any help would be most appreciated.
