Video 4 Linux

Hello All,
	I recently picked up a Hauppage WinTV card.  Didn't work so well
under windows - so it made it to its intended OS, Linux, much quicker than
orginally expected.  Okay so my question - has anybody got one running
correctly yet?  here's what I get out of dmesg about my card (kernel
2.2.7)
Bttv0: Brooktree BT 878 (rev 2) bus:0, devfn:152,irq:19,memory:0xfd9fe000
Bttv:1Bt8xx card(s) found
Bttv0:NO fader chip:TEA6300
Bttv0:model:Bt878(Hauppage new)

Okay, so under linux I can get composite video out of it (the rca jack &
audio from that weak input it has).  I can't get cable from it, I could in
windows so I know it works at least under windows.  I have no way of
testing the s digital input.  It works much better under Linux, doesn't
blue screen, god I'm glad linux doesn't have a blue screen, but I would
like to get it fully functional.  I have to date compilied support in to
my kernel - only for brooktree chipsets, I have MAKEDEV video on /dev, and
I have started to use xawtv, I wasn't able to get bttv running yet.  So if
anyone has any suggestions to get this thing up, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank You,
Anthony
