hi all being new to this list, i hope that this question hasn't been asked before too often (i very quickly browsed the archieves...) i am using a asus-v6600-deluxe grafx-card (SvideoIN...) and did not succeed in getting video under linux my system:: PIII-733; Debian; kernel-2.2.17; XFree86-4.0.0; nvidia-drivers 0.9-4 what i did:: installed kernel-module "videodev" : ok installed kernel-module "i2c" : ok installed kernel-module "bttv" : no error message, but no message at all in my logs ! having tried a lot, i finally had 64 video devices; started (pe.:) xawtv, which in turn starts v4l-conf; messages (that seem important to me) ... WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support. ... can't open /dev/video: No such device syslog saying "modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81-0" so i edited the /etc/modules.conf :: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 bttv the syslog error is gone now; but still "/dev/video: No such device" i believe the main problem is the lack of dga-support of the xserver do i have to upgrade to the XFree86-4.0.1 ? are there any options i have to set to get the dga-support ? please help mfg.dsf.as iohannes
