Hi knowledgable folks... I am trying to get my new install of Ubuntu 5.10 working with my three AVerMedia DVB-T 771 cards.
I was a linux noob when I first got mythTV going, and I had a friend set them up with my under FC2, but after encountering apt-get HELL a couple of weeks ago a new install of linux was required. I decided to go the Ubuntu route because it is just so nice. The problem is, I have just realised that I am still a linux noob when it comes to getting hardware working. Anyways, from what I can see, the cards are recognised as the output from dmesg is as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/build$ dmesg | grep bttv [4294696.881000] bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded [4294696.881000] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture [4294696.885000] bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

When I set this up in FC2, I didn't have to do anything really special (it turned out) and I thought it would be even easier under Ubuntu 5.10 with a much newer kernel. Does anybody have any ideas about what I am doing wrong. And please don't say anything about rebuilding the kernel else I might wee my pants :( Cheers, Whytey -- -- I have GMail invites, if you want one, email me direct. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
