Hi, I have problems with the configuration of the bttv package. My Linux version is Suse 6.4. My TV Card is Hauppage. I follow the instructions of the BTTV Mini-howto for configuring the bttv Module. I didn't recompile the Kernel and neither download the bttv 0.6.X. I saw the package withe my Linux version and I found that it was 0.6.3 version (I think that it's ok!). So, I started with the linux command insmod videodev (everything was ok). After that, I execute insmod i2c and I found an error message that the module i2c didn't exist. I try to continue the installation, but the modprobe bttv doesn't work. I install kwintv and as you can imagine, it doesn't work. Could you please help me find "HOW-TO" install the i2c module (if it exists) ?

The Mini-HOWTO is a pretty good document, but a bit too much work. SuSE has made the entire frame grabber installation process very easy.

Well, since you've already done all of that work, I may be sending this too late ;). All you need to do is send `modprobe bttv && modprobe tuner', and all of the necessary modules should load automatically. If bttv fails, you may need to *edit* the lines in /etc/modules.conf.

Doesn't work for me, either. The only application that runs reliably for me is XawTV, and it runs very well.

Again, this is not necessary with a SuSE kernel. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x121 _\_V 6D04 39E0 CAE9 9ADA 2CA3 2EBE 898A 6C37 CA1E A29C -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

If it's a standard Hauppage card you could try uncommenting the line options bttv line in etc conf/modules and changing tuner to 10 and adding vidmem=0fx=0xf00, ie so it looks like this :
