VIVO port - video input

Hello guys!
Probably every year (3-4 years) I try to use vivo port on my video card to capture video but never succeed and never yelled for help : )
So now I have a VERY HUGE interest to know: can it works or not?
Video Card:

$ lspci | grep 01:00
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI R600 [Radeon HD 2900 Series]
01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI R600 Audio Device [Radeon HD 2900 Series]

$ xrandr:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 473mm x 296mm

   1280x960       60.0

   1152x864       75.0  
   1280x720       60.0  
   1024x768       75.1     70.1     60.0  
   832x624        74.6  
   800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2  
   640x480        72.8     75.0     66.7     60.0  
   720x400        70.1  
DIN disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

$ dmesg:

to capture video I should use vlc->capture device->video4linux2 and then write my video device. I guess to know device name I should write:

$ ls -l /dev | grep video
crw-rw----  1 root video    29,   0 Feb 26 22:20 fb0

but it's only one and for some reason another doesn't work.
Thank you so much, hope you will emit some light on this dark story.
