Because I have 9.1 running just fine on my main desktop, I used my boy's old P266 to allow me to test drive MDK 9.2 for a spell to decide if I want to make the change. The KDE desktop icons require a double click. How annoying. Furthermore, a quick visit to the configuration utilities does not reveal a straight-forward setting to change this. For a test machine, who cares.....but is KDE 3.1.4 required for single-click throughout or can I change it somehow? Thanks in advance!

If you get it, let us know how it works. I have DSL now, and see no need for the monthly phone service fee since I have cell service. I would LOVE to tell the phone company to stick it. I did that with cable with no regrets.

If you have ever watched a 'live' sports program on a satellite, and listened at the same time on radio, you know that there is a significant lag. I prefer the local radio announcers for football, and while there is a half-second delay normally, on the satellite connection the lag is too much. Directv is hard to beat, but the lag could be a problem for Inet access if you are into online gaming, or inet phone....I have never tried it, but you may want to ask the DTV people about it.

This is an update on this thread. I tried the Gatos ati2 files that I downloaded and also I found them on the distribution CDs.....I had no success....just gave up for awhile. In the meantime, I learned how to change my urpmi sources and gained some general knowledge about that neat tool. I found that the ati files are available on the contrib sites. I tried it again letting MCC install just as before with some success. Now I can view the TV input. I can't capture yet, the v4L stuff is not working yet, but I am making progress. I am not sure if I did something different after waiting awhile, or if the contrib site had a newer version. Anyway, thanks for all the advice I received from this board.

Thanks!

Thanks! I was able to get the updates working. However, I removed my cd sources. Can I get my CD sources back? Or should I just forget them.....

I have been running MDK 9.1 for some time, and in the past I have successfully updated using the Control Center. Now when I tried I received a message that said that there was an error with upmpi. I tried to revise the update-source to a new server, but it would not change. Now when I start the update, I am asked to chose a mirror and I get a message that there was an error while updating, the mirror may not be available, or perhaps 9.1 is no longer supported. Anyone have an idea what is broken? Do I have to install 9.1 from scratch?

kfoss, You mentioned your difficulties w/ 9.1. When I try to run atitv as: atitv -m TV -c 3 I get: Creating new shared memory segment Shared memory segment marked for deletion Is this the compiler isuue? Or will I have the same problems if I go back to 9.0 (which I liked better anyway) Thanks

I found the GATOS package and installed the package. I now have XAWTV....but it will not start. It says that there is no video device available. I did some poking around, and I see no /dev/v41 entries....so the GATOS rpm did not do the entire job. I will have to get a few hours to look into it deeper. Thanks anyway!

Reading my post, I have to clarify some stuff. The card works video ok....the tuner is the issue

I have used MDK 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, and 9.1 Each time I hope that my ati all in wonder pro will be recognized.....still no dice. I am not a linux pro, I hate to boot windoze, but dang.... I am new to this site (Nice, BTW,) and I read in the software group that a person has the AIW and can view the TV. I am not that far, so I must have missed something along the way. Is there a source of info on how to configure the 72 and 1/2 pieces of software to make this thing work? I refuse to buy another, as the info on this subject seems sparse. Thanks.
