Hi Phil; Thank you. Finally, some help. I have no /dev/video0 or /dev/video (or /dev/radio). In WindowsXP both the TV and the FM Radio work so I assume the card is physically installed correctly. See below. On Mon, 2007-01-01 at 18:55 -0700, Phil Meyer wrote: > William Case wrote: > > Hi: > > > > 'lspc1' returns "Multimedia controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown > > device 4d52".

I tried your suggestion and got: Linux video capture interface: v2.00 bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture [root@CASE ~]# tvtime Running tvtime 1.0.1. Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml Reading configuration from /root/.tvtime/tvtime.xml videoinput: Cannot open capture device /dev/video0: No such file or directory Thank you for using tvtime. Checked /dev/* and no video0 exists. It seems Kudzu or whatever isn't even recognizing the existence of my card, much less trying to supply a module or driver. Tried bttv, bt878 and cx88. -- Regards Bill
