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 Linux video capture interface: v1.00 bttv: driver version 0.7.37 loaded bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). bttv0: Brooktree Bt878 (rev 2) bus: 0, devfn: 128, irq: 9, memory: 0xf4100000. i2c-algo-bit.o: Adapter: bt848 #0 scl: 1 sda: 1 -- testing... i2c-algo-bit.o:1 scl: 1 sda: 0 i2c-algo-bit.o:2 scl: 1 sda: 1 i2c-algo-bit.o:3 scl: 0 sda: 1 i2c-algo-bit.o:4 scl: 1 sda: 1 i2c-algo-bit.o: bt848 #0 passed test. i2c-core.o: adapter bt848 #0 registered as adapter 0. bttv0: i2c: checking for eeprom @ 0xa0... found bttv0: card id: Askey Magic TView (0x3002144f) => card=24 bttv0: model: BT878(Askey/TyphoonÅnubis Ma) [autodetected] bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA8425 @ 0x82... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9840 @ 0x84... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA985x @ 0xb6... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found i2c-core.o: driver i2c TV tuner driver registered. tuner: chip found @ 0x60 bttv0: i2c attach [Philips NTSC] i2c-core.o: client [Philips NTSC] registered to adapter [bt848 #0](pos. 0). 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
