Ok I posted this question to the list a few days ago
with no reply but I was able to find a way to get this
card up and running.  I looked through the news
archives (http://groups.google.com) and found quite a
few threads that got me going.  The howto is way to
outdated for use with Mandrake Freq.  Any way all I
did was edit /etc/modules.conf the folowing was the
needed lines:

alias char-major-81     videodev
alias char-major-81-0   bttv
options tuner type=5
options bttv card=10
post-remove bttv        modprobe -r msp3400; modprobe -r
tuner
pre-install bttv        modprobe -k msp3400; modprobe -k
tuner

I'm not 100% sure on what all those things mean but
have a general idea (downloaded the bttv tarball just
for the readme's).  Next I need to get it working well
in X (fullscreen) it keeps moving the res and I read
somewhere that X needs some tweaking..  Any Ideas?  I
have XFree86-4.0.2-4mdk right now with a Voodoo3.  I
have a feeling X is only working through sheer miracle
though because my Voodoo card is pci and Mandrake
detected an on board chip i810 during install so I had
to change that with xf86cfg and drakconf.  So I dont
think I have 3d excel  or anything.  Anyone give me a
hand getting the tv full screen with my vid card?  I
can right now but only 640x480 wich I dont want I want
1024x768.  TIA
Jeff
