I have a savage 2000 video card. I used to use it in my win2k computer but I upgraded that one and put the savage 2000 video card in a linux box. I'd like to use it as a media machine for dvd's and stuff, but I need to get the video card working first. the cd the card came with doesn't have linux drivers. is there anything else I can do? how can I get this to work?

You should be able to edit your xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 to look somthing like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Savage2000"
Driver "savage"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen"
Device "Savage2000"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

I bolded the important lines. You will have to use your judgment on your xorg.conf file if it's differn't then my example. Unfortunatly I don't think there is any support for TV-out on that card. If you need TV-out go with an Nvidia card the normally plug and play in Linux. Also some ATI cards are suppored by the gatos project.
