What distro are you running?  Kernel version would help ... 

There is a VISOR HOWTO ....

I've heard people getting different things working.  I upgraded to RH8 and
there's modules for the VISOR - I've just never really tried.

If I get time with the storm - I will try....

There's the NOVALUG meeting in Chantilly on Saturday (novalug.tux.org) -
maybe you can get some answers - at least there's a talk on Linux & Video
scheduled.  I've heard Brad talk on other things - he's pretty god.

Cheers

Rich
