Video capture

[Matthew Carpenter]

I just picked up the ATI Video Wonder VE vard (which I thought was the WinTV
card...  READ THE BOX BEFORE PURCHASE :) 
I think it also has a conexant chipset, but SuSE81 autodetected it just fine. 
I have REALLY been impressed with SuSE81's device management (except for the
stupid "one pointer" approach).  I enabled my AHA152x, and SuSE automagically
detected my CD burner and my scanner, and auto configured them so all the MM
apps knew about them.  I stuck in the video card and it popped up with the
same notice, autodetected and let me autoconfigure, and put a desktop Icon for
the card, and all the MM apps see it.  Very impressive.

I may still take back the ATI card, though, since I was hoping for stereo, and
wanted the Hauppauge card...  I think Walmart just stopped carrying the WinTV
card in-store, and moved it to online only.
