I spent yesterday trying to get an old ATI Rage 128 Pro 32MB PCI card running on my Gentoo box, in the hope of perhaps turning it into a PVR. I have come to the conclusion that it’s not going to happen, at least not in the way I want it to. Despite the excellent GATOS project, it seems that command-line access to the necessary devices when no X-server is available is not possible.

If you know better, drop me a line. It’s a shame, as the card has some great features, and in theory – at least – could do everything I need.
