Re: video capture under linux

Well now, this really sucks.  I just had to stop using my Hauppauge Card 'cause its
incompatible with my new ATI Rage128 card -- Every  time the card is accessed, the
machine spontaneously reboots.

I know I should really look some HOWTO's or the LDP, but I'm taking the easy way
and just asking;  How is Linux support for ATI's TV wonder Cap card?  The one that
connects to ATI cards via the proprietary VFC-like connector?
