Hi guys, me again.
So, I feel embarrassed and went back to my PC and made my homework.
This is what I do:
1. Get the 2.2.16 kernel. The Mandrake folks has made a great job
with their kernels, but they are intended for
I-never-going-to-recompile-with-patches. So, I get a "vanilla" one.
2. Get the last i2c package from lm_sensors
(http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/). Made the patch with mkpatch, recompile
my kernel (BTW, I use the .config from the kernel-sources RPM package. It
works), recompile my modules and install them (selectin all the i2c
modules, of course).
3. Get the last bttv module (0.7.34). I NOT patch again the kernel,
I compiled apart, install, blah, blah.
4. I'm using this conf.modules (I'm from Mexico and I'm using
Cable)
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
# bttv
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv radio=1
options tuner debug=1 type=2
5. Load bttv, run xawtv, and it works! Sound & video.
The logs says:
i2c-core.o: i2c core module
i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module

bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ... ok
bttv0: PLL: switching off
It works pretty cool; xawtv is a great program. Now I have only 2 questions
1. The radio program keeps saying: open /dev/radio: No such device
and the /dev/radio files exists. I need something more? (I'm loading bttv
with radio=1).
2. Can I use my remote control? It's very handy.
Thanks.
Canek
