<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also tried and gave up on a Radeon 7000 card
(with FC1). I then got a nVidia GeForce4 MX440 which works without problems. I
have helped somebody with a MythTV with a nVidia FX5200 which worked with the
same setup as the MX440. Just a matter of using the "nvidia" driver, setting a
number of Options which are described in nVidias documentation on the web,
loading some modules and turning off all kinds of screen savers.</FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap=""> Hi Garry,
What make is it? I've seen various cards on ebay, some of which
claim to be
doing mpeg2 decoding...(which I have come to relise isn't very
probable).

Actually, I think some of the Nvidia cards actually do sport full MPEG
decoders... it's just that the full decoder isn't supported under
Linux.
