Ok, I downloaded the linux4.tv driver again and tried it on my SC2200
board and I can't get it to work either. Very strange, since I had it
working with LinuxBIOS a couple of months ago. It might be that I had
to turn on some clock or PLL by hand.

Oh well, I'll try to see if I can find a backup of the kernel I used
then and see if I can get it running again.
