ZM 1.24.2-8ubuntu1 on ubuntu 11.04 with bt878 card DOESN'T W

[speedamaster]

since I upgraded my system to ubuntu 11.04 (natty) my zoneminder monitors stopped working (went red in overview).
SO ID DID WORK BEFORE!

I really tried hard but need YOUR help to get this back to work!

as you see below main issues might be "tuner absent" "Bt8xx card found (0)"in dmesg when doing a modprobe bttv and and a "0" in lsmod|grep bttv.

ANY IDEA OR HELP?????

tvtime works (even in color) - see file
guvcview works (somehow, some line sync issues, but at least some picture)
xawtv doesnt work (shows some strange screen copy artefacts) - see file - is that a matter of a wrong videobuffer?
I configured in /etc/sysctl.conf (according to that forum script for memory setting):

I did remove the tvheadend and I ended in the same (except the last line) syslog messages.

/dev/video0 is in orange color state. My monitor screen looks like:

[Blazer]

I'm having pretty much the exact same problem. System was working fine. Did a dist upgrade to 11.04 and now only my monitor that points to a network camera works. All of my bttv devices do not work and no obvious errors.

[Blazer]

Update: I removed the zoneminder package (1.24.2) and did a manual compile+install of 1.24.4 and my bttv devices work again. Now my only problem is trying to also get a uvcvideo device working simultaenously with the v4l2 driver instead of as a remote network cam (with mjpeg-streamer)
