Re: Kodicom 4400R Card not working

Solved.
Thanks for your help.
I saw bttv was loaded using lsmod, couldn't see any errors in any logs.
I unloaded bttv with rmmod and reloaded it (with -v) to see if there were any errors. None reported
Ran xawtv again and it worked.

Thanks for the help.

I have done as you suggested.

After reboot there are no /dev/videoX files

dmesg | grep bttv produces no output!!

Have looked through dmesg | more and cant see anything glaringly wrong

Any more ideas gratefully received
