That's
the problem right there, I'm not really a linux know it all :( My
knowledge is limited as I'm a Linux starter, I know some commands but
not all of them, perhaps you'll look other way when you see I'm a total
newbie, but I have done some search and after trying to install the
driver I found in the mailing list and do ./configure, I get a lot of
errors and missing packages.
<br>
<br>
Anyway, If you have the time or know some website or that
might enlight me on finally installing a working driver with TV out
support for my card, I would apreciate it very much.<br>
<br>
I'm running Ubuntu 7.04
Feisty fawn.<br>

Thanks again.
