[gentoo-user] Video 4 Linux in kernel?
I'm trying to get my TV card (Avermedia Cph03x) going with Gentoo 1.4. I see that the support for it is in the source tree of the kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r8. There is no module in the /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r8/drivers directory. I have seen docs saying there should be a 'media' directory there, but it isn't there on my system. insmod bttv doesn't work.confirming no module. How can I be sure I have the support actually compiled into the kernel and then generate the appropriate module? I'm learning this stuff fairly rapidly, but I'm not sure what to look at nextand the docs all assume a specific starting point - which I'm not at - and I'm having trouble working out exactly where I am and which way to go. Mythtv installed perfectly and runs great - except for the lack of a video capture device defined on the system to point it at. :-) -- Steve Withers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The option selection is the default config, so there is no need to worry about sorting the rest to suit your machine. - -- Mike Williams -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/qBWqInuLMrk7bIwRArv+AKCgL3tEfxCQjBYVSpHy99mLnon4uACgluGZ 3w/FsJ9nIAqSqEGjHao0ReE= =D7SJ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Thanks, Mike the genkernel --config showed that Video4linux was NOT selected for inclusion. I marked it for inclusion and had a further poke around looking for bttv support..but couldn't find it. For the moment, I'm assuming it is part of the Video4linux support and will be included. The kernel is re-building now. Fingers crossed. -- Steve Withers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
