Have you checked out the gatos drivers?  I don't know which mobility 
card you have, but here's a list from the gatos page:

These drivers should work fine with any Mach64, Rage128 or Radeon card, 
in particular:

     * All-in-Wonder classic (Mach64): XvImage, TV-in (NTSC)
     * All-in-Wonder Rage128 16mb (Rage128): XvImage, TV-in (NTSC)
     * All-in-Wonder Rage128 Pro 32mb (Rage128): XvImage, TV-in (NTSC)
     * All-in-Wonder Radeon (Radeon): XvImage, TV-in (NTSC)
     * Rage Mobility-P (Mach64): XvImage
     * Rage Mobility-M3 (Rage128): XvImage
     * Radeon 64mb: XvImage
