Its a All-in-wonder Radeon 7500. I picked it because it showed as having 
good support under the GATOS project, but their pages don't really explain 
the steps well.

I also got this because I will be working on providing streaming video 
content, both live and canned, and I wanted to use gnomemeeting. I don't 
have gnomemeeting working yet (can't find the video device) but it does 
work under xawtv.

Well, yes. But it is useful information anyway.
