Old X11 versions are supported by GATOS.

Regarding new versions, there is X11 TV/Video patch pending for several
years: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8811
The patch is included in openSUSE >= 11.0, so you can play TV there out
of the box.

The driver uses X Video overlay for displaying the video, most later TV
cards use video stream. That is why many standard TV applications can't
play your TV. Try for example avview.

There is a rudimentary support for video4linux:
- Driver cooperating with XVideo driver to get card tuned. It partially
  works, but freezes the computer after few minutes.
- There is an attempt to write full V4L driver. I never tested it.

Hello!
I happen to have here an All In Wonder 128 Pro based card and of
course with Linux. My distribution is Slackware, version 12.1. Are
there any suggestions for making use of the card in much the same
fashion as probably works using those other methods? (Windows but not
X.)

I've read in the Video for Linux list that the card can be configured
to use its TV In/Out connections via those methods but outside of that
the authors were at a loss, also their wiki contains a lost of missing
data.


Also I have the entire contents from the download area here. What is
applicable to what? And what version of the kernel are we looking at,
also what version of X and X.org are we looking at here.
