>Does any one have any experence with video4linux, or really what I am >looking for is bttv.  I have a ADS Tech Channel surfer (w/o the radio), it >has a BT848 chip set.  I tried the drivers in the 2.2.12 kernel with out >any luck (I am using xawtv out of potato), I then grabed the latest source >from the BTTV home page >(http://www.thp.uni-koeln.de/~rjkm/linux/bttv.html).  I did not edit the >makefile because my card was not listed, so I just compiled, and installed >the modules.  Now I have video, but it's B&W, and I don't have sound (this >could be a OSS problem?).  I have made all the odvous changes in xawtv >(set every thing to NTSC and Cable) but I still have only B&W, sound less >video, can some one help?   i had no problem with getting my TV card to work in color (Hauppauge WinTV Nicam) but i also had problems with the sound-- make sure that your sound card is installed properly on the right IRQ setting and kernal moduals-- try "insmod sound | less" and see what errors you get etc..   as for the Black & White problem, i have no suggestions-- if you do get the sound/color to work though and you have KDE, then try KwinTV which is really cool i'm not sure if you get it on the debian disks because i had it during my suse installation   -------------- M Thurston [EMAIL PROTECTED]
