For vic to work with the spigot as a regular user, you need the
following kernel configuration:

device spigot0 at isa? port 0xad6 iomem 0xd0000 vector spigintr
options         SPIGOT_UNSECURE	# non-root access to spigot, security prob. 

You should also create /dev/spigot, then vic will be able to
recognize the device.

The meteor should work with the 440fx chipset if you don't use the 
multiple dma transfer mode (i.e. use the YUV_PACKED mode).  The 
ports collection contains vic with the patched grabber_meteor.cc for
YUV_PACKED mode.  Do you still have lock up problems with the meteor
and the version of vic in ports?
