ATI TV video out -- need driver? Fedora.
I'm trying to set up a PCI video card on Fedora. Its got a VGA, S-Video, and Composite (RCA) out. The only one I care about is the Composite out (for my TV. Composite works as a mirrored display until X starts, then the TV becomes a white screen (but the VGA monitor continues to work).
The card was sold (on ebay) as a "Acer pa50d 8 meg PCI vidio card w/tv &s-vidio o" which "sets itself up under windows XP as ATI 3DRage Pr PCI (gt-c2vz)". The chip on the card is labeled "3D Rage Pro PCI 215R3PUA22"
I've tried setting it up using the Display application, but I can't make it work. Do I need to get special drivers for this card?
Thanks,
Zach

Loading what drivers? I need to go find some ATI drivers?
Also, I didn't install the kernel src when I installed Fedora. Do I just copy a directory off one of the CD's into /usr/src/
?
Once I've done this, what do I do to get those drivers into the kernel? I'm no kernel hacker, but I'm sure I can learn.
