Well, this time I did the following: 1.) cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/ 2.) tar cjf ivtv.tar.bz2 *.old NOTE to other readers: I renamed the kernle modules privously. 3.) tar tjf ivtv.tar.bz2 4.) rm -v *.old 5.) cd 6.) depmod -a 7.) REBOOT 8.) cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg This time, after the reboot I did not only get a device "video0" but I was also able to read data from it. :-) Of course, this data was just the usual black/white noise. But for the first time I got data from my TV card under Linux. Best wishes, Leonhard. PS: So far I didn't any second reboot. I want some real picture first. ;-) _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
