I appreciate your help. As shown below the term "ivtv" doesn't exist in the log. lspci identifies both cards and modprobe can' t find ivtv.

HiIf your distribution support udev you dont have to put anything into /etc/modprobe.conf. Everythink should be autodetected fine if the ivtv modules and firmware are place in corrected places. Read first the documentation placed together with the ivtv source. What does dmesg | grep ivtv says. Can you post it here?From README.devices:Base devices
============For every extra card you have the numbers increased by one. For example,
/dev/video0 is listed as the 'base' encoding capture device so we have:/dev/video0 is the encoding capture device for the first card (card 0)
/dev/video1 is the encoding capture device for the second card (card 1)
/dev/video2 is the encoding capture device for the third card (card 2)Note that if the first card doesn't have a feature (eg no decoder, so no
video16, the second card will still use video17. The simple rule is 'add
the card number to the base device number'. If you have other capture
cards (e.g. WinTV PCI) that are detected first, then you have to tell
the ivtv module about it so that it will start counting at 1 (or 2, or
whatever). Otherwise the device numbers can get confused. See the
ivtv_first_minor module option for more information.Harald

with 64-bit Linux distros.
Also, I didn't have to specify any "alias char-major-81*"; maybe that's due to
my using "udev". (I don't have a "/etc/modprobe.d" directory, either.)
The "special places" for me were specified at
<http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Documentation> (I followed and used the
information under "General Purpose (Main) Howto", but there's a "Ubuntu" link
you might want to look at.)
The ivtv driver modules were installed in my "/lib/modules/`uname -r`" tree as
specified in the ivtv web page documentation link mentioned above, and the
"v4l-cx2*" firmware files were installed in my "/lib/hotplug/firmware"
directory, but see the instructions at
<http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware > to find out where your distro
wants them to be located.
Another note: My bttv module loads first, then I hand-load the ivtv module. (I
haven't taken the time to automate this yet.)
