viewcast has a upgraded driver for the osprey cards (I use it with Osprey
100 cards) it is up on their web site.
helpfull hint: to build the bttv driver you need to build a kernel and have
all the files left around.

Hi all,
I googled for some time and asked many people many questions, but I still
don't know how to properly install bttv on my system (Athlon 800 MHz, 256
RAM, Osprey-210 frame grabber, Slackware 8.1, bttv-0.7.83). As you can see,
my system already comes with an earlier version of bttv which doesn't
support my frame grabber. The /var/log/messages snippet follows:

As you can see, it tried to detect my board (based on bt878 chipset) and
came close (model 200, instead of 210), but it still said: "card=10" (i.e.
Hauppauge).
I have downloaded the latest driver from the manufacturer
(bttv-0.7.91-osprey-rc1.tar.gz) and managed to 'make' it. However, when I
did 'make install', it gave me a bunch of unresolved symbols and it bombed
out.
Before I do anything with the installation, which files should I back up, so
if something goes wrong I can get back to the original configuration? The
first time I tried this the system didn't boot any more after I did 'make
install', because it got stuck when it reached the "bttv" specifics
(probably because of all these unresolved symbols). In order to make it
boot, I had to unplug the board from the PCI bus. Since it was a fresh
install without much stuff on, I decided to reinstall the entire operating
system, so I'm back at the start now.
Is there a safe way to install that driver?
I checked with the kernel configuration and V4L is already compiled as a
module, as is the original bttv-0.7.83 that came with the OS.
I appreciate any help you care to offer.
