[mythtv-users] Capture Card Settings in MythTV

I'm attempting to set up my capture cards and video card within MythTV
setup and keep having troubles getting it to work.  First, I have two
capture cards, both are PVR-150s with 1 being an MCE.  My video card
is a GeForce FX 5200.  I'm running FC3 and have been following along
Jarod Wilson's setup procedures for this.

First, I can't seem to figure out what my video card is on the system,
but it's definitely not /dev/video.  I have several /dev/nvidia?
devices, 1-3 I believe.  Also, I believe I need to know the /dev path
of my capture cards to put in the MythTV setup, correct?  Sorry, I'm a
bit of a newbie to Linux...

Finally, when I set up my capture cards in MythTVSetup, which type of
card do I use?  Do I set it up as a 250/350 even though I have a 150? 
Or is there another setting I should use?

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
