usb device problems
 

I have an ATI TV Wonder USB device that linux detects is connected and linux knows that it is an ATI TV Wonder.

However, Mandrake does not detect it as a TV card. Is there some way to map the usb device to /dev/video0 or whatever? I don't have any experiance with USB devices under linux.

I'm running Mandrake 9.1

Look at the log file /var/log/messages as you plug it in to see what it says.

You can use usbview to see what you have connected.

Does this help?
