BTTV problems on opensuse 10.3

[agingcomputer]

So, I've been trying to get my tv tuner card working again on opensuse 10.3. I've had it working on previous versions and I think I even got it to work on 10.3 at some point, but it certainly isnt working now.

v4l-conf and v4l-info say "no such device" about /dev/fb0 and /dev/video0 respectively.

Some data:

---------
ls -la /dev/video0 /dev/fb0
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 29, 0 2008-11-26 21:00 /dev/fb0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 81, 0 2008-11-14 18:12 /dev/video0
---------

---------
The error that I get when I try to run xawtv:

This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/x86_64 (2.6.22.18-0.2-default)
xinerama 0: 800x600+0+0
can't open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device
no video grabber device available

Does anyone know what I need to do to get this video card working?

[waterhead]

First, you may want to install the latest capture card drivers form the V4L-DVB CVS/Mercurial repository.

LinuxTV.org - CVS and Mercurial access

Then, if you can determine the tuner that your card has, you can specify this when loading the bttv module.

Repository - markup - v4l: video4linux/doc/CARDLIST.tuner
Loading the Modules

You can also specify the audio type in this same manner.

To help in determining exactly the hardware that your card is using, here is a card list with pictures.

The correct part is:

card=40 - STB TV PCI FM, Gateway P/N 6000704 (bt87, 3Dfx VoodooTV 100

but entering "modprobe bttv card=40" doesnt seem to help.

[waterhead]

You have to remove the bttv module before you can reload it with new parameters.

modprobe -r bttv
modprobe bttv card=40
