[ILUG] Spacewalker SV24

Just doing a bit of homework on this cool little ATX-Flex system  Granted
it's not exactly a high performance machine, but cuold be very handy and
make a very nice little multi-media station for browsing, dvds, mp3s etc.

One thing I'm unsure about is the 

* Onboard Savage4 2D/3D Graphic Card
* S-video and TV-out

I've noticed the Savage4 Beta drivers for X.

I'm wondering though

a) how well supported is this card?

b) os the tv out supported and does it work

It'd be a crappy card by the looks of things for games, but fine for using
a TV for browsing and general other stuff.  I've thought as well of getting
a PCI graphics card with TV Out (the ATI Radeon AIW PCI springs to mind).
However, if linux'd work without I'd forgo the expense of an extra vga card 
for now.  

Also, anyone used firewire with linux?  How well does that work at this
point?

Gavin
