I recently installed a Pinnacle PCTV Rave. I am in the US and I was
using Mandrake 9.0. I think the defaults in the harddrak/drakxtv for the
card are for either a european version or they are just wrong. I got the
video working by overriding the defaults at insmod time using
/etc/modules.conf - no big deal. I could never get the audio to work,
but I think that is due to the fact that tvaudio version I was using
does not yet support tda9885 chips. After fooling around with patches
for a while I gave up and decided to take the thing back and either do
more research / get a different card or both. Then the weirdness
started. 

When I removed the card and powered my monitor back up, it had an erie blue
tint to it. Did the PCTV card do something to My video card? Has anybody
ever seen this kinda weirdness? 

I am using a rage video card; here's my lspci output.
