BTTV Driver

Post by crates »

I'm using LiveCD 1.21 with what I think is a Tibet Systems CS16 - 16 port card.

This I think is BTTV card number 131.

I want to know if the driver installed on my PC supports Card=131. I tried looking at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST but the folder doesn't seem to exist.

Can anyone tell me how to figure out what version of BTTV I have and whether it supports the card I'm using.

Wow, I don't know how this one sliped by and sorry for the delayed reply. You will be able to find that document if you install the kernel-doc package and it will be at /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.11 for the latest kernel
although I do not see an option for 131 or Tibet Systems CS16 and would be curious where you seen this. It's possible to patch the kernel and make 131 be available for your card but you'll need that patch.
