I have a ATI TV Wonder VE capture card. It was made in 2000 so it's not new.

I can't get it to work and ultimately I am lost as to how to go about getting it to work.

It shows up in my dmesg, here is part of it

Code:

But I can get any programs to use the card.

Like I said I am pretty much lost.

Thankyou for your time,
