success with Pinnacle

[Ken W. <ha...@he...>]

I installed the Pinnacle Studio DV tonight and applied the kernel
patch and rebuilt.  Kernel built no problem, rebooted, loaded the
three modules and got no complaints.  I take it this means that Linux
liked it?  I don't have any software yet, so I didn't even plug in the
camera.  It would be nice on the site to actually have a list of cards
known to work.  Or did I miss it?

Honestly, I am not sure if I will stay with this.  As far as Linux has
come along (I started when 1.2.13 was current), X still has a LONG way
to go.  I have some really annoying problems that honestly I don't
have the time to figure out anymore.  Find this how-to, that faq,
consult this newsgroup and that mailing list since it's not in the
how-to or faq, etc.  Unless I can figure these things out, which I
would love to since I miss running Linux at home, I might have to just
end up installing Win2k over my NT partition since 2k supports 1394.
Jamie Zawinski really has some valid points, though he is a bit
disgruntled. :)  Anyone have an extra SGI Workstation they want to get
rid of? ;-)  Also, that offer of free Solaris 8 x86 from Sun is
sounding really tempting.  Sorry for the rant, I just hate
anti-climactic situations, which getting X running again has
definitely been.
