I don't have _the_ solution, but you should have a look at the files /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.7/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv.gz /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.7/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner.gz from the package 'kernel-doc-2.x.x'. There are many different tuner and card types, try loading different combinations which make sense to you: rmmod bttv modprobe bttv type=xx tuner=xx I don't remember, you might have to remove the tuner module as well, can't try as I am recording something right now...:) My card was not found under 2.4.xx kernels, so I had a little play around and never got it to work. 2.6.7-1-686-smp however works fine for me.
