hi list ! being a newbie i frankly post following: i have a Studio PCTV Rave and am running debian/gnu (2.4.6 i think, sid) modconfing the bttv-modules works, although i get error-messages, because the "tuner"-module seems to be reinserted. something like: ... Inserting module tuner.o This module already seems to be loaded bttv: inserting module failed! ... (i cannot remember the exact error-message) however, the module is inserted (despite of the error-message) the bttv-chip is detected , but the card not : BTTV848(***UNKNOWN***) i read the bttv-howto (which is quite old), and there was no entry for the "pinnacle studio pctv rage", so i choose miro or miroPCTV or autodetect. (reading very old mails on this list, i found out that my card would be "card=39", but being not at home, i had no time to check this) with xawtv i get: TV: coloured snow, since i have no antenna-cable plucked in, since all my cables do not fit into the jack (on the antenna-side, not on the card-side); however, i do not care to watch tv SVHS/Composite: the device works, but only B/W. there is little colour information (i notice, when i turn the xawtv-colour-adjust to zero), but i think this is only noise. audio: i don't know, but i don't care (having not connected the line-out) ( maybe you noticed, i need the card only for video-in... ) b/w-pictures are not what i want. i have found in the list-archives, that somebody had similar problems (but maybe without coloured snow) and solved this by just inserting the line "color=1" into the .xawtvrc Since i will use other programs to capture (pd/gem), i do not think, that this will help me. i have a geforce256-gfxcard, but no drivers installed (i will have to get my box to a fast internet connection soon...). i do not think, that this might cause the problems, since i have coloured snow... any suggestions...? mfg.cds.ast IOhannes
