Linux drivers?

[eddy]

Do they test the linux drivers, or is this another one of those "there exists only one platform, and it's name is 3DMark"-reviews?

I have one question...

[clifgriffin]

Are the Windows XP drivers up to snuff with this release? Previous All in Wonder drivers have sucked and have been unreliable for programattic access. I had to switch last year to another capture card manufacturer. Clif Blogzine.net Fortress of Insanity

Re:Linux support

at video capture/tv tuner cards are supported by gatos. the 9700 is listed as "support on the way thanks to ATI", but nothing on the 9600. you might want to check the mail list archives or post to the list to see. i have aiw 128 pro and it works nicely w/ linux, though i haven't tried capture in a year or so. it was rough at the time i last tried it. i just want to easily record vcd compliant mpeg video from the input card. (via cron if possible). maybe that functionality exists now.

Linux Drivers for PVR functionability

[acherrington]

I think the card is great and has a ton of functionability. But when the time came for me to buy a PVR card, I had to skip on this one in favor of the hauppauge wintv pvr 350 PCI card and a seperate video card solution.

I had to do this dasterdly deed due to the current state of linux driver support (ie lacking). Is anyone developing drivers for this or is ATI creating a too fast of moving target. Does anyone have any alternative solutions?
