I'm trying to use a BT878 video capture card with my BLFS system.
Unfortunately I chose, in a moment of parsimony, a cheap version that does
not have an eeprom.  This means that although I have added the correct
driver information to the kernel tree the card won't work.  The only way
I've been able to test it was to run Linux Mint from a USB flash drive and
create the following bttv.conf file to add to the Linux Mint
/etc/modprobe.d directory:-

alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133 tuner=4,4,4,4
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1

This forces the BTTV driver into the correct configuration.

As I'd really like to maintain a static kernel, rather than a modular
version, does anybody know how I can add the above driver information
directly into the kernel tree so that I can keep my static kernel and not
have to bother with modules.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Richard
