there are a lot of more problems with this driver.... i used the same version
as
chris, and with the same modprobe.conf

it behaves in playback like the driver i used before:
when I play mplayer /dev/video0 i get a screen like it had no signal (like on
the TV if you have no cable plugged) and on /dev/video1 i get a red screen.

perhaps the problem is somewhere else, and i have to change something else???
are there any other settings, that should be made to get this card working?
perhaps i should give fedora a try, but i would like to get this working with
gentoo.
