The smell of newly purchased stuff... So, there I was, Hauppauge WinTV board in hand, Mandrake 10 installed and ready to rock! Little did I expect that it would come to this. But first things first.

It's not such a strange video card problem.
I've got a machine with WindowsXP Pro, Linux and FreeBSD on it. It just so happens that the video card is an Nvidia Ti 4200.
Guess what? XP didn't like it, I had to use an older card to install the OS, and then download the driver and reinstall the card. What a PITA!
On the other hand, FreeBSD and Linux had no problem with it, so it does happen.
