Unfortuantly, due to the nature of TV cards they could not be built directly into the kernel, purely and simply they are so many different cards, and even the same manufacturer may use different tuners even on the same card. So modules only I am afraid.
Yep, true.
You're using the 2.2 kernel, my memory is fading with that kernel...Let me give you my modules.conf (by the way getting those errors sometimes means you try to load the wright module at the wrong time, before other modules had been loaded).
The following is much the same as my setup... With Suse 7.0. it worked, with Suse 7.1 is doesn't.
I just double-checked my /etc/modules.conf and was surprised to see that I have only alias char-major-81 bttv there. Everything else got commented out as I upgraded from 6.4 to 7.1. I'm running kernel 2.4.2 and there are no problems using kwintv. THe card is avermedia, don't remember the exact model, but I can check that too. When at 6.4, it was quite a puzzle to figure out the correct setting for bttv options. In 7.1 it looks like it finds them automatically. -Kastus
options bttv pll=0 radio=1 card=56 options tuner type=17 options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
post-install bttv /sbin/modprobe "-k" tuner; /sbin/modprobe "-k" msp3400
alias char-major-81 bttv
You will have to change some of the numbers around, like card=<insert number here> and type=<insert here>. These can be found under the kernel Documentation directory (hopefully).
