I'm running a BT878 card under mandrake 9.0 (and I had it working on 8.2). > > If anyone else had this card working, could they please let me know which > program they are using? TIA I'm using xawtv. The one that ships with mandrake works fine. I suspect the actual problem is with configuring it. There is a "TV cards" icon under "Hardware" in Mandrake Control Center that lets you configure this stuff. I assume it works, I didn't use it because it "just worked" for me. Anyway, I'm using the following lines from /etc/modules.conf to make it work: alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv pll=1 card=30 radio=1 options tuner type=5 Which may or may not be helpful since you have a different card to me (I'm using a LifeView FlyVideo 98 or something). Having written all that, what exactly is the problem? :) HTH James. -- "x^n + y^n = z^n, no solutions.
