ATi Rage 128 Pro Theater Tuner


I'm trying to get my ATi Rage / TV-Tuner card to work..

This is what I have so far.

The Xorg.conf is using the r128 driver (the ATi one from the website says it doesnt support a card this old, and the radeon one wont work)

I loaded the bttv module, but tvtime reports no /dev/video devices

lsmod:

Code:
lsmod

I went to the Gatos Site and got the ATI.2 drivers for xorg and copied them into X11R6, restarted X (ok, what driver should xorg be using when I do this?)

I also installed TCL/TK and AVView (but it crashes after you click OK accepting this is the first time its been started) with this error:

Code:
Adaptor 0: ATI Rage128 Video Overlay
                type input image
                ports 53
53 ATI Rage128 Video Overlay
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  141 (XVideo)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  14 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  1314
  Current serial number in output stream:  1314
I tried installing the km module, but it errors half way through as well (but this isnt required right?)

So basically, what do I need to do here to get this to work?
