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
