Well, I'm stoked!

I just put the cheapie TV tuner in my box at work -triple booting SuSE, Drake, and RH - it works fine with xawtv in SuSE & Drake but still working on RH -still, 2/3 ain't bad. Now I get about 100 chanels.

SuSE required commenting out the 'omit dga' thing in the XF86Config file...

Nice to hear.
I was just as excited when my Pinnacle Bt878 worked BETTER in Linux that Winduhz (where I was getting huge amounts of purple "snow" and getting random crashes).
Now if only I could figure out why my switch from X 3.3.6 to 4.1.0 causes so much trouble...
I need to change from "overlay" to "grabdisplay" every channel-change. :(
