    Well in that case, I guess it doesn't matter. The instructions I was 
following gave no such indication.

    Ok, I followed the directions on that page, and I seem to be getting 
the same sort of dmesg thing:
saa7133[0]: found at 0000:01:07.0, rev: 209, irq: 10, latency: 32, mmio: 
0xd4001000
saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1131:0000, board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC 
[card=0,autodetected]
saa7133[0]: board init: gpio is 40
saa7133[0]: Huh, no eeprom present (err=-5)?
saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0x96  [???]
saa7133[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2]
saa7133[0]: registered device vbi0

    This is a little different from what they had. It doesn't look very 
promising. Do I need to give any attention there? I'm not particularly 
interested in the capture features at this moment (not that I mind 
spending a few minutes on it). I'm more interested in playing movies at 
this point.
