I have a /dev/video/ directory which contains several devices, I think unrelated to the tuner, then I have devices /dev/video0 through /dev/video3 - which is, I'm told, how it's supposed to be - video0 is the tuner, video1-3 are composite input etc. xawtv properly detects and defaults to the tuner on video0. Now here's a question which will reveal my newbitude ;) - whats the distinction between insmod and modprobe, and when do I use them? Currently I'm doing neither, they are loaded automatically (i see tuner related entries in my modules.conf - apparently placed there automatically by redhat). I dont have an options line specified, although based on someone else's advice, I tried previously doing modprobe tuner type=2 (I think) with no effect.. however the module was at that time already loaded. Do I need to remove the module, then reload it with the option? -----Original Message----- From: video4linux-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:video4linux-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ronald Bultje Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 3:59 PM To: video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: only static from hauppauge card, rh8 Hi, On Mon, 2002-12-16 at 21:40, kbowen@xxxxxxxx wrote: > I see device entries for /dev/video0-3 , xawtv seems to detect the device > properly, but I get only static. Do you have multiple video devices? Check /proc/video/dev/video*, and if you've got more than one, try 'xawtv -c /dev/videoX'. Also, check dmesg for any interesting messages, and specify the card ID (see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST) when insmodding bttv.
