Well, The betas 1 and 2 of MDK 8.0 have recognized well my Avermedia
TVCapture 98; under 7.2 I have to introduce some changes in
modules.conf:
"alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=13
options tuner type=5"
You need see the bttv documents to know what is your card number and
tuner type; in the docs installed with 7.2 you can see the appropriate
parameters.
I suppose you are running 7.2, if you have 7.1 is a little bet more
complicated, but just add some more lines and the card numbers are
different (probably due to use a older bttv version).
To do that, better you can try using insmod and different parameters
and just include in your modules.conf when you were sure they work. For
example:
A) first you shoul remove the modules, because they will be previously
loaded by mandrake (you can see this using lsmod from a konsole).
B) Under 7.2, type from a konsole: rmmod bttv, rmmod tuner (in this
order).
C) now you can try: insmod tuner type=x (x is the number, you can try 1
to 5..., depends of philips-themic mode)
and then: insmod bttv card=13.
D) with 7.1 I had also to load the stereo sound module: insmod smp3400,
but perhaps it isn't necesary under 7.2.
E) Perhaps in the file /etc/modules you do need to include a line for
bttv
It is necessary to MDK 7.2 have the apropriate card and tuner type, if
not you couldn't see and hear anything.
I hope this help you.
