Hi Folks,

Well, I've checked the doc that came with my PC and I've checked the ATI
web pages. Can someone please tell me if the TV tuner on the ATI
All-in-Wonder Pro video card uses the Bt848 chip?

Has anyone got a TV driver working for this card under X?

If so, which one?

This is my one remaining reasong for booting Win95. Please help me to
eliminate it :-)

Thanks

Andreas

No. AFAIK the tv-part of that card is not supported by Linux and it will
not be as ATI refuses to release the specs for the tv-part.

If you really want TV in Linux but a card based on Bt848 like Happuage
WinTV PCI or miro PCTV.

regards Henrik

Sorry...

ATI won't release the technical data needed to develop Linux drivers
for the vidcap and tuner.

It doesn't not use the bt848--it uses a Philips tuner with the bt829a
decoder chip.

You might want to check out Hauppauge (http://www.hauppauge.com/).

Er, that was a typo. To clairify: it *doesn't* use the bt848.
