[plug] video 4 linux - bttv

[Simon Scott]

Hi all

I borrowed a TV card from my brother that uses the BT878/BT879 chipset 
supposedly supported by BTTV. However, whenever I try to modprobe bttv I get:

/lib/modules/2.4.19-5mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o.gz: init_module: No 
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-5mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o.gz 
failed
modprobe: insmod bttv failed

XawTV returns

This is xawtv-3.76, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.19-5mdk)
xinerama 0: 1024x768+0+0
xinerama 1: 1024x768+1024+0
can't open /dev/v4l/video0: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such device
v4l: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such device
no video grabber device available

Any clues?

Regards
