I have always been an ATI card user, mostly for the AIW option, but the inability to get drivers to use for 2.6 kernel, X.org files, and so on is getting me to turn attention to nVidia. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<- Is AIW supported under 2.4 kernel?! ->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> At the risk of starting a major catfight over cards, any suggestions? I was somewhat comfortable knowing ATI card numbers and "what they had under the hood" but am in the dark for nVidia. I have not seen an AIW equivalent. Is there one, or is that not such a great idea anyway, and if not, what is a good TV card for linux? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<- Discussed well on the list.

Thanks for suggestions. Please don't let me be the instigator of a big flame war; I just want to know what people think of the "other" cards and what might be similar to ATI maybe 9200, 9600, like that.
