Greetings Marcus,

Thanks for the reply. I did notice after hours upon
hours my post was kinda pushy but I was dead tired.
And I was begging and urs rusch noticed me, and 
forwarded my post that was on the SuSE mailing list
to you. As you might be of help. Thanks.

I have the standard out of the box kernel sources and
SuSE sources(which include various things from the dev
kernels that you just don't get with the standard kernels.)

I did try the compile with the bttv sources with the
2.0.35 kernels and I got the missing :
bttv.c:49: linux/vmalloc.h: No such file or directory
and it didn't wana compile w/out errors.

To put it bluntly, I forget which bttv I tried.
So to start me off in the right direction:
1) which bttv driver should I try to compile
   for my happauge 401 TV/tuner w/radio (stereo)
   with use with a 2.0.35 kernel ? 
   bttv-0.5.8.tar.gz 
   bttv-current.tar.gz or 
2) What should I do if I get that missing "vmalloc.h"
   header file again? or am I missing the point on
   what to do?

Got that page :)

I looked at update and could not make heads or tails of it.

Yea, that was part of my fustration, no one has replyed about it
yet on the SuSE email list. Tho I know prob 20f people have
TV/Radio tuner cards. To tell you what SuSE has included
of bttv on thier current distro is this:
<A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Product/lx53/pak_e/paket_bttv.html";><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Product/lx53/pak_e/paket_bttv.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Product/lx53/pak_e/paket_bttv.html</A</A>>
and click on Contents. ....

**I got alot of docs when installing thier package all that 
are on that Contents list. That is what I have to deal with
If I install the bttv from thier distro. Can you look at the
contents and see what I would do about what they installed
"for me" thing is I dunno where to begin with it..as its
differnet than just grabbing the sources from the normal
bttv pages. To me anyways..As the files SuSE installed
don't look to me as if they are ment to be compiled
like the DOCs that are on my system for it. They look
like the normal docs you get with the bttv driver.
 
The files that are not "DOCS" are on my syetem are:
/usr/bin/bttvgrab
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/bttv-0.4.3.dif
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/bttv-0.4.3.tgz
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/bttvgrab-0.3b.tgz
/usr/src/packages/SPECS/bttv.spec

bttv.spec looks special..I will attach it
are these the instuctions I should follow?
and there is a line in there about needing

# neededforbuild  mmbase mmcore mmslib xpm gpp libgpp

I got xpm, gpp, libgpp but I have no clue what mmbase
mmcore or mmslibs are.. and what directory to start 
all this in. Maybe you can help?

Last thing, the Dev kernels are kinda neat..I'll have
to look more into it. As right now I can't hack it.
basicly dunno what I am doing exactly with it.</PRE>
