I'm attempting to install a Hauppauge WINTV RADIO pci card (BT878 chipset) on 
my RedHat Enterprise Linux WS version 3.  The driver for the card is the bttv 
driver.  From my research about the driver it is suppose to be built into the 
Linux kernel.  I'm running Kernel 2.4.21-20EL-i686.  RedHat's hardware browser 
shows the card as a video capture card and defines the driver as bttv.  However 
the card is not "mapped" to a device.  I tried running

% xawtv -noxv
And it returned
Can't open /dev/video0

I don't really now how to troubleshoot this as I'm still a novice Linux user.

I looked under /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/Kernel/drivers and I didn't see 
the bttv module.  When I try to modprobe for bttv it returns an error saying it 
can't locate the module.
However, when I look under /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-20.EL/drivers/media/video I do 
see the bttv module source.

Do I need to rebuild the Kernel?  I don't know how to tell if the bttv driver 
is already there and I don't know how to rebuild the kernel either.  I 
apologize if this is the wrong mailing list to be asking this type of question 
but if it is could you direct me to where I can get help?

Thanks,


Patrick
