Hi,

I have this Gef4ti4200 working, let us say, quite good with linux. (agp4 is not enabled; quake fps , compared to an old gef2mx isn't that much different. But i think my p3 1000 is the bottleneck.)


Now, I'm looking for a way to make the philips encoder SAA7108 work. Is somebody aware of
developments for this encoder?


I suppose nvidia guys don't care like always. Is it possible you think to loby them so they release more technical docs: to write a driver?



Or should we all wait & see for the radeon 9700 which had terrible benchmarks ;) Maybe THEY will have a video in driver for linux.
