xawtv = Linux ?? If so, there should be entries in the syslog and the bttv module should be installed (lsmod |grep bttv) . There's install options for bttv.o to set the card type, BTW, if it's not autodetected (affects which port is assigned to TV, s-video etc.) May need "alias char-major-81 bttv" in /modules.comf (should be set by kudzu) to install module automatically Cards should also show up with "lspci", e.g. 00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 02) Cards should show up (nowadays) in /dev/video0, video 1 etc so try xawtv -c /dev/video0. I think it still defaults to /dev/video which is now a directory. It should be possible to run multiple copies of xawtv one for each card. I use it a lot for testing video (and for watching TV at home ....) -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada Tel. +1 (604) 222-7376 [email protected]
