Yeah, it's even more of a pain when it add's 5 minutes to your boot up time.On Wed, 01 Oct 2003 17:20:39 +1200 Col <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

these work in linux, cos I have one. The don't have a tuner, just

hint modprobe bttv card=13, autoload=0. if someone has module parameters that work better, let me know.
IIRC it needs I2C configured otherwise it takes 5 minutes to modprobe @ 100% processos usage. (I2C is used for teletex???)
The below redhat /etc/modules.conf options are adapted from http://www.pcquest.com/content/linux/handson/101091501.asp I have used the same options in gentoo as well.

thanks Col I found modprobe bttv would take 5 minutes.
modprobe bttv card=13, autoload=0 takes considerably less, maybe 1 1/2 minutes. still a pain. it does result in i2c stuff being loaded, but adding the stuff you suggest may speed it up.
