[mythtv-users] Tv-out with ati rage fury pro

[Cory Papenfuss]

 	I was wondering about that.  It's kinda a fly in the ointment of my 
mythtv upgrade, since I was using a r128 card.  I'd like to try to use the 
tvout on an old Mach64 if it doesn't suck too horribly, but gatos doesn't go on 
x.org yet.  Good things are afoot?
