Since this is the expert list, you won't mind then if I point you to the fine manual. :-D There is a cardlist somewhere in the bttv documentation that should give you a listing of supported cards. Something like /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
