Hi, I worked only in Red Hat linux. Have a close look into the following link. http://bytesex.org/v4l/build.html. This says " If you run in trouble with the distribution kernel, try a vanilla kernel from kernel.org instead. 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 ". So do as follows. Download Vanilla kernel 2.4.22 from www.kernel.org Download "patch-2.4.22-kraxel.gz" from http://bytesex.org/patches/ Apply the patch to the kernel source. Compile the kernel with 1) loadable module support 2) Multimedia devices -> Video for Linux -> Video Adapters - <M> BT848 Video For Linux (as Module) in make menuconfig. Boot the new kernel Image Download bttv version 0.9.11 from "http://bytesex.org/bttv/"; Compile bttv load bttv driver 0.9.11 When u load bttv driver using modprobe, there may be possiblity of old driver loaded again. so rename the old bttv driver and load new driver. Try this one out and if u have any problem, revert back.
