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.
