problems with Kodicom 4400

Post by darkpaw »

Still messing with cards in my new server, and I'm having lots of issues.
My current plan is to move my Kodicom 4400 over from my current working system to the new server. Original server was running Fedora Core 10, new server is running Fedora Core 14. It doesn't seem to be picking up the card. Here's the modprobe options:

[root@zm ~]# cd /etc/modprobe.d/
[root@zm modprobe.d]# ls -l
total 28
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 52 Mar 19 16:19 anaconda.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 884 Aug 5 2010 blacklist.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41 Mar 25 20:59 bttv.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 382 Nov 25 2009 dist-alsa.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5616 Nov 25 2009 dist.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 473 Nov 25 2009 dist-oss.conf
[root@zm modprobe.d]# cat bttv.conf
options gbuffers=32 card=133,132,133,133
[root@zm modprobe.d]#

And here's the dmesg, showing it pulling it as "generic":

[root@zm ~]# dmesg | grep bttv

Seems like your bttv.conf file is not being read\executed.
