For ATI you will also need external module. I personally changed from GF4
MX440 to ATI Radeon 9000 ViVo. If you need a Video In, I'd suggest you
check with GF owners of such cards, because with ATI it is impossible for
the time being to use that with 3D support and you ahve to unload ATI
fglrx and load Gatos radeon modules to get it working and you loose
the speed drastically i.e. with fglrx I get 2090 fps and video out working
and with gatos no video out and 300 fps [7 times slower!!!] The only
advantage I see compared to GF4 is the I get video out also without X,
which I think is not possible with GF. I wonder if GF with Video IN works
properly, anyone uses such?
