I never had any success with the Mandrake wizard for my Pinnacle PCTV card (previously know as Miro), I always had to manually set the options for tuner and sound in the /etc/modprobe.conf file. Google for the bttv module options and have a look on your card to try identify the chips involved. Cheers! John. -- Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
