Hi everyone,
I posted a few days ago about my surveillance card not working and no one could help.
If anyone has done *ANYTHING* with input cards that would be comparable can you post me your /etc/modules.conf, what modules you load, and maybe even your relevant dmesg output?
Thank you
Ben |

I used a hauppage card for that purpose once with the ivtv drivers. What is giving you trouble exactly?

Only the first bnc (video0) loads. It does not detect video1-3. I'm not sure if it's my modules.conf or where.
Here is a copy (truncated) of my modules.conf
| Code: | alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-81-1 bttv
alias char-major-81-2 bttv
alias char-major-81-3 bttv |
I have tried not having those char-major-81-1 (through 3) lines there with no change and also char-major-81 bttv instead of videodev and no change.
| Code: | # dmesg | grep 'video
bttv'
Boot video device is 0000:04:04.0
Linux video capture interface: v2.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:04:03.0, irq: 17, latency: 32, mmio: 0xdfdff000
bttv0: using: Tekram M205 PRO [card=119,insmod option]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00decd03 [init]
bttv0: using tuner=1
bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... <7>i2c_adapter i2c-1: master_xfer[0] R, addr=0x40, len=1
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... <7>i2c_adapter i2c-1: master_xfer[0] R, addr=0x58, len=1
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... <7>i2c_adapter i2c-1: master_xfer[0] R, addr=0x45, len=1
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9887 @ 0x86... <7>i2c_adapter i2c-1: master_xfer[0] R, addr=0x43, len=1
bttv0: registered device video0
bttv0: registered device vbi0
bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok |

Detection has been flaky on my card in the past.
I'd check the howto for information on passing the module parameters to force it to use your card if it isn't already. A quick scan of the page indicates that they think it's an 848 while the dmesg clip says it detects as 878. Maybe a red herring, I don't know.

Do you think that maybe I need to insert a module for a tuner? I mean it seems like it's checking for tuners by going through the ones that are in the HOWTO . Then it stops at this one....
| Code: | | bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9887 @ 0x86... <7>i2c_adapter i2c-1: master_xfer[0] R, addr=0x43, len=1 |
I don't have the box accessible now. The network just went down there and "static" ip addresses from RoadRunner have a habit of being a little forgetful at what STATIC means. So now I've lost access to the box  .
I am thinking of just buying a card that is already claimed to work with linux or something, I don't know what else to do.

probably should be something else.
| my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 wrote: | tuner
bttv card=34,34 tuner=39,39 radio=0,0

(tuner always before bttv, card and tuner options for best performance. radio is optional.)
cheers
