I don't know if this is good or bad news. As known AverMedia already has linux drivers for that card except that they're outdated. If they released the source for this driver we certainly had it easier. I don't think the code won't work with more recent kernels and encouraging lkml to include support for this card is certainly not useful for people who use linux distributions like ubuntu or fedora core. The way to release a component for kernels like ATI does is more sane. However in the long run people simply won't buy such a card and give it back. No win for AverMedia either. So you mailed sales@xxxxxxxxxxx ? Have you let them know about their already existing driver to adapt it? Regards, Martin On Mon, 2006-04-24 at 14:20 +0100, Tom Lloyd wrote: > An update!
