I have a g200 and two dumb BT848 video capture cards in my system.  The
BT cards work fine, but all I can get on the g200 is it's composite
video input.  
Is there a FAQ for using the g200tv's tuner?  my /proc/video entry for
that card doesn't list the tuner -- it lists everything else:
name            : mgacap-0
type            :
VID_TYPE_CAPTURE|VID_TYPE_OVERLAY|VID_TYPE_CLIPPING|VID_TYPE_FRAMERAM|VID_TYPE_SCALES|VID_TYPE_SUBCAPTURE|VID_TYPE_MJPEG_DECODER|VID_TYPE_MJPEG_ENCODER
hardware        : 0x1


I'm using the 2.4.22-26mm-2mdk kernel (mandrake plus thak's multimedia
and latency build)  I've loaded all the .../kernel/3rdparty/mod_marvel
modules mgayuv (what's that?) which wants IRQ and DMA definitions.

I tried the mgavideo-0.1.1b.tar.gz tarball from the marvel sourceforge
project, but I can't compile it as I get compile errors in mgai2c.c.

I saw somewhere that the matrox g200 uses a philips tuner chip.  Can I
get bttv to read it?  The bttv module has no problem seeing the tuners
on my BT cards.
