Or maybe the driver is alreaddy compiled into the kernel. If you have that module try to load it. Usually the driver should detect the card correct. If not take a look in ther kernel Doku file Zoran and look here for the section 2 How do I get this damn thing to work: .... Load zr36067.o. If it can't autodetect your card, use the card=X insmod option with X being the card number as given in the previous section. To have more than one card, use card=X1[,X2[,X3,[X4[..]]]] options zr36067 card=X1[,X2[,X3[,X4[..]]]] alias char-major-81-0 zr36067 .... When loading the moduls look at the messages you find in your system log (often /var/log/messages) If you encounter problems attach the output from the log. > my hardware is a 1800+ with a 9200se video card with a > sis motherboard Should work, at least I do not remember reports where the card didn't work. > my 1st question is how do i know what modules or > drivers are loaded? which do i need? > 2nd the best way to test the system Attach a video source (maybe not VCR for the first tests) and run xawtv. > 3rd can i use xawtv That one TV application you can use for viewing. :) If you see the signal you can start an try to record from the card with the mjpegtools. You might want to take a look a the mjpeg-howto (found on the mjpegtoos hompage) first. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
