Well, I just tried to apply the 2.6.0-test4 patch from the pchdtv site 
to the 2.6.0 kernel. Except for the bttv-driver.c, it was pretty obvious 
how to apply the rejects. Unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to 
first figure out how bttv-driver works. Hope somebody beats me to it, 
I'm not much of a kernel hacker.

I also have an NV18  (GF4 MX440 AGP8) card and an on-board 8x0. The 
nvidia driver does a few oops when X fires up, but nothing crashes. I'm 
not sure whether the problem is in the closed source driver or the 
wrapper. To look at later. The alsa stuff is part of the 2.6.0 kernel 
and works fine for me. I'm having a problem getting modules.conf to load 
the nvidia and alsa modules and am doing it by hand now. Ethernet driver 
just loads, pretty strange.
