[mythtv] Matrox G400 + Rainbow Runner

[Russell Hatch]

Yeah the G200 and G400 Marvels seem to have full support since the tuner is
built into the card i believe.  as for the G400 without tuner plus the
rainbow card im not sure its fully supported.  But, on the bright side, i
did find out my roommate had a Hauppauge WinTV Tuner he would donate to my
cause if necessary.  I'm guessing its pretty easy to get this one working
without any trouble?

am planning on using a G400 and the addon Rainbow Runner card.  I have tried
checking the supported drivers for Video4Linux and it did mention that the
G400+RR did have support, but on the sourceforge page it said very limited
support, but for all i know that could be out of date (which is likely).  I
also tried searching the V4L mailing list for information but couldn't find
anything terribly relevant.

here successfully setup a Myth box using this combination?  I just wanna
know if maybe i should scrap it before I start.  If it turns out that there
is very minimal support, perhaps so minimal thaI can't even enjoyable use
MythTV, what card offers the most support and would work best for this
application; I am guessing the Hauppauge?  Anyways, please give me some
ideas on what I can expect with this card combination, thanks.
