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.

Oh an also to the fellow with the geforce FX 5700, i have one, and windows xp pro installs just fine, in fact i even get a desktop that can go up to my monitors maximum resolution in 32-bit color, only thing i can't do without drivers is play 3d games.
That's good for you but it doesn't make it magically work for me. Neither the 5700 or the 5700 ultra worked. The same exact behaviour was exhibited, a blank screen. I then proceeded to successfully install SuSe. Then I tried XP with another card and it worked. Like I said before, it works under XP but it just doesn't install with it.
This is not supposed to be some argument about whether this really happened BECAUSE IT DID. If you don't beleive me then don't but you're wrong. That's all there is to it. The point is that an XP install IS NOT always a walk in the park. I provided factual evidence. Get over it.
