Hi! I've recently decided to take the plunge and build an HTPC. I was inspired when I saw the 7500 AIW cards on sale last week. I did a quick look around and saw that with some work (ha!) I could get the 7500 tv-out working under linux (plus it comes with this cool remote control/mouse unit!)
So I ran out and bought the card, threw it in my machine, and began installing Gentoo. I have used Gentoo before, and feel that for a special purpose machine like this, Gentoo is the right choice for me. All the manual configuration is challenging, but I consider it just extra Linux practice to keep my admin skills sharp
Anyway, the point is, I am having trouble getting TV-out to work. I downloaded the ati.2 cvs from gatos, used ebuild to unpack the xfree sources for me, but I get an error message about missing version.def.
I saw mention that some people here in the forum are using 7500 cards, and I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction!
Thanks,
SetiMike
