I hope someone can help me with this.. I used to have kwintv running very nicely under 6.1, I used the bttv driver and started it with ./update whenever I logged in - no problem.. I have upgraded to 6.4 (phew.. but thats another story) and have set most things up but cannot get bttv/kwintv working at all. When I try and set bttv up, it crashes stating that it cannot insmod i2c, I have set the kernel up to load i2c, videodev etc as modules and there are lots of i2c_xxxxxx files in the 2.2.14/misc directory. Not being very up on the content or makeup of modules, do I have to replace i2c in the makefile with i2c_xxxxx ? has anybody got a Hauppauge TV Card working under 6.4 ? I did have 11,000 past messages but managed to lose these (part of the upgrade/reinstall story) and cannot get to grips with the database.

One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is how dastardly simple device configuration is in SuSE's distribution. *all* you should have to do is put two lines in /sbin/init.d/boot.local: /sbin/modprobe bttv /sbin/modprobe tuner Using modprobe will automatically load all of the dependent modules that each of the two above needs, including the appropriate i2c and videodev modules. Don't forget to add your user to group `video' ;). -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"

Jon, Do you have to edit /etc/modules.conf for the bttv and tuner lines. If so, please list the lines from that file. Thanks Terry Jon Pennington wrote:

Nope. Not with a WinTV Go (Conexant 878 + Miro 3400). -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"

Jon As you say - how dastardly simple.. it worked.. although in my defence, I was unaware that modprobe bttv and tuner would load other modules as well, I would have thought that I would have had to modprobe i2c - well you live and learn, as it was, the boot messages also told me that it was i2c-old that was required, so I changed the ./update file to reflect this and it worked.. Thanks again, I must read more on modules ! Pete On Tue, 13 Jun 2000, you wrote:

I am using the Win TV radio PCI 647 model which is equivalent to model 401 everything except the remote control is functioning (since I did not bother with it) under KDE using kwintv and nothing special is done it works out of box under Suse. Here is what I have in the /etc/modules.conf file alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv card=10 pll=1 radio=1 options tuner type=5 pre-install bttv modprobe "-k" "tuner"; modprobe "-k" "msp3400" post-remove bttv modprobe "-r" "tuner" post-remove bttv modprobe "-r" "msp3400" Hope this helps
Thanks in advance
