I have an old ADS Technologies Channel Surfer TV I decided I would give a try on one of my linux machines given I see it was supported by bttv with video capture and TV tuner support. I pretty much just want it for the TV tuner support, though. It has been years since I used this card, and that was last on Windows 98 I think. I had to quit using it once I got a 3D accelerated graphics card, if I recall right. I believe the support page for the card (which doesn't exist at all anymore) said it would not work with a 3D graphics card. Well here I am in linux and it seems that such is the case still. If I'm running X in 3D accelerated mode it will not work--I just get a blue screen. I have an old nVidia TNT2 Ultra card. I get this blue screen when using the nvidia drivers from nVidia. However, when I run X with the built in XFree86 nv driver, it isn't 3D accelerated and I do get the TV tuner to work. So the question is: is there any way at all to use the TV tuner with this thing w/o having to restart X with that nv driver rather than keeping my nvidia driver going? That's quite a pain in the rear to deal with. Granted, given the tasks that I use this machine for, I could probably manage ok w/the nv driver from XFree86, but I would prefer to use the nvidia one and have some 3D acceleration on my desktop. Is there any way at all to make this card work with it still using the nvidia driver? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
