Multiple Cards

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

[kernel 2.4 (Redhat 7.1)]
I am using 4 FlyVideo98 Cards with 1x BT878, and 3 x Fusion 878A Cards.  The  
Bt878 defaults to Card type "Chronos Video Shuttle I", and the picture is 
fine in xawtv (3.57), and I can get the first card (/dev/video0)  to be set 
to card type 56 (FlyView98/FM) and I can see video using xawtv.

xawtv -hwscan
    ....
    /dev/video0: OK
    type : v4l
    name : BT878( FlyVideo98/FM)
    flags: overlay capture tuner
    /dev/video1: OK
    type : v4l
    name : BT878( *** UNKNOWN *** )
    flags: overlay capture tuner
    .....

I'm not sure of the format for /etc/modules.conf to configure multiple 
devices, but the following is just taken from the example,

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv card=56

I have run MAKEDEV.v4l and created the following in /dev:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Aug 21 10:28 /dev/video -> 
/dev/video0
crw-------    1 nick     root      81,   0 Aug 21 10:28 /dev/video0
crw-------    1 nick     root      81,   1 Aug 21 10:28 /dev/video1
crw-------    1 nick     root      81,   2 Aug 21 10:28 /dev/video2
crw-------    1 nick     root      81,   3 Aug 21 10:28 /dev/video3

Surely I just need multiple lines aliasing char-major-81-0. char-major-81-1, 
char-major-81-2, char-major-81-3, and setting their cards to be FlyView98/FM 
(56),

What am I missing?

Cheers

Nick
