I hate to reply to my own messages, but I took my own advice since I have an
all-in-wonder in one of my machines. Also, I thought it would be good to
have this information in the mailing list archives.
ATI doesn't write drivers/software for *nix but it does appear to give a
little support to those who do. There is a project called GATOS which has
working software for linux that allows one to use the ATI-TV hardware.
According to the readme file:
===========================
REQUIREMENTS
-GNU/Linux (only tested on x86). Also reported to work with
FreeBSD, with some modifications.
-ATI All-In-Wonder, All-In-Wonder Pro, or Rage II/Pro with ATI-TV
tuner card.
-XFree86.
===========================
So, I guess in some fashion, then answer to the question is yes, there is a
way to do it. Maybe someone else out there has worked with this software
before and knows what those modifications are. A port of this would be even
better, if someone has the time, effort, and hardware.
