OK, my error.  Eyes blurred and read what I wanted to see, rather
than what you wrote.

Sorry - If there isn't anything in the archive (did you look at
myth-dev and myth-user?), then I may be confusing the AIW issues /
ati.2 gatos driver issues with reality.  Does someone with a working
ATI 9000 want to chime in as to whether the TV-Out is going to work
and whether the card has Xv support?
