Re: help install bt878 under RH9

[suriya mohan]

Hi,
  First try to work in default bttv driver bttv-0.9.91 or 
bttv-0.9.96
I suppose (kernel 2.4.20-8). load tuner and bttv driver module.
If u want to upgrade default bttv driver to bttv-0.9.11. Then
1) download vanilla kernel from www.kernel.org (2.4.20)
2) apply the following patch
"http://bytesex.org/patches/2.4.20/patch-2.4.20-kraxel.gz"; to 
the
kernel source.
3) recompile the kernel. (problem will occur when u apply the 
patch to
the default kernel source. so u have to download new kernel 
source
2.4.20 from kernel.org)

With Regards,
S.Suriya Mohan.

Hy,

I don't now if this problem is posted.
Sorry for this.
 This is the story:
 I install the Red Hat 9 with 2.4.20-8 kernel version.
 I have also in an PCI slot a TV Tuner (KWorld) base
on
 BT878 chip set and the tuner is Philips PAL.
 I download the last version of  BT driver
 http://bytesex.org/bttv/bttv-0.9.11.tar.gz.
 I read the following on the site :
 "The RH9 kernel for example doesn't work without some
tweaks in the drivers source code because they
backported lot of stuff from 2.5.x and broke source
level compatibility with vanilla 2.4.x kernels."
Can someone help me to install the driver?

Please send me a mail to:

Thanks
Alex.
