A search on "rivatv" with google returns the link above in first position.

The RivaTV project is something completely different. As its name says, it aims at supporting video in and out on Riva (and later) based video boards. It happens that the video stuff is on the same bus as hardware monitoring stuff, so their driver can be used in LM Sensors. Still this wouldn't make any sense to duplicate their code in our project, this is why we point the user to the RivaTV project instead. Same applies to Matrox users (driver is included in the kernel tree itself), because the i2c bus driver for these cards is included in the framebuffer driver. That's not something we can change. The only video adapters drivers we have inside our project are the ones that only handle the I2C bus (Voodoo3, Savage4). > Thanks for your help and the great job you`ve already done!
